I think the unit production rate is too high,.. it makes for rather tedious battles, with the reinforcements comming on in endless waves. I liked the earlier version. Also morale is to high, but that was the case in the early version also. Ide like to add though that you guys showed that C.A. did not develope the game to its fullest extent. The total War engine is capable of doing more than they knew (or used). You guys took the game another step.
