Heres a little hindsight. Decisive battles and Time commanders. Of course the option for smaller units should be there if you want battles over quicky.

Also Hannibal hid his whole army for an ambush against the Roman Army. So I hope that clears up any questions you have.

The battlefields are already big and I have a feeling they can already and easily support this

As far as feel of the game, theres a historical feel, the "totalwar feel" and then theres the feel like your actually there, like Shogun was able to with there short cinematics and great music(at least for me)
