    Less of that thank you very much, I consider myself more of a "public servant" than a despot...

    True, the MTW real time battle engine is probably the pinnacle of the TW series. It has yet to be bettered in terms of physics, the use of tactics and balance. The problem with MTW itself was that it was an imbalanced game built on a balanced engine. The addition of vices and virtues, maritime transport and trade very much skews the outcomes. There are also inherent imblances in unit rosters with many factions fielding duplicate units types and others fielding too many of one type of unit. A good example being the vanilla "Egyptian" faction with their stack composition made up mostly of peasants and camels. It was very easy just to kill the general and watch the whole lot rout. This is what gave rise to the myth of Bedouin Camels being "mounted peasants".
