This said, everyone has his personal feelings and likings, for me the speed is fine. Id rather would like to see a little bit more speed.
Back to the question. I played it a few months and after all, its not bad. CA addressed many bugs and problems with the first big patch, which made the game okay.
The real Problem, at least imo, are all those extra abilities, different clans, different talent trees...
In the end its more about what lvl your units are and which upgrade you got (you have to take the right things, there is no choice), than its about timing and how good you are with that.
Its a lot less about movement, tactical momentum and real skill.
In the old days it was a lot about how you move your army and a good timing, today its a lot of frontal clashing, like we had already in btw and all the other TW versions.
In STW you had to flank and rear to really win something, thats not so important anymore. I don't say, it has no effect, it has some.... but its a minor effect.
All in all, the game is okay, but there are too many things and effects around, which has nothing to do with how you move and command your army.
TW is a niche game, while back in 2000 we had not many choices, today we have a lot.
In SP the game is pretty good, while in MP the game is no good. There are tons of other much better games out with a lot more tactical gameplay than TW.
its a pity.
