The Total War series is a great breakthrough for gaming in terms of epic battles but compared to real battles fought in ancient times the battles in the TW games still look like minor skirmishes.
Amen!

Armies were big ponderous things. So let's make them bigger and more ponderous.

The more men TW can have on the field, the better. It would be easier to outnumber someone all at once rather than possibly having the larger force but be still being outnumbered yourself due to the 20 unit limit and the difference in unit sizes. Once both armies can field the limit you can never really experience a 2 or 3 to 1 advantage or deficit.
