I completely disagree, for me the thing about Total war games are about recreating battles. You can command troops in battles, apply tactics and strategies (ex. ambushing an enemy). EU is a game about managing an empire/nation, but not about commanding battles. That´s the big difference. IMO total war games make the campaign map decent enough, and i always play all battles because that is why i am playing a total war game in the first place.

What i mean is that some people love the politics of the era, but most people who play tw games love the military. They want to command their troops, see them fight and die, and ultimately win. The campaign map is only there to give you a feel of history and not only be random battles with predone armies. So in summary, if you don´t care much about the battles per se, then total war games are not for you, because they are all about commanding virtual small tiny soldiers. A similar thing to historical wargames.
