    I like the campaigns a bit more.

    I also lean to autocalc later on in the game.

    I play early battles out or those that matter. I will also play with new toys such as getting gunpowder arty for the first time or teched up to chiv knights or the like but might not bother in some cases.

    even the horde battles get boring after a while and I now sometimes mow them down with archer hordes led by a 9* on autocalc or drop 50 jihad markers on em.

    damn they are gone fast!

    I definately favor the battles slightly more. In battles there is more strategy involved than just putting troops in provences. I'm looking forward to more strategy in RTW as you can position troops on the map. Anyway, I do end up using auto for battles in campaign but usually ones I am positive I will win. Close battles I trust myself more than the computer. Either way these games have to be the greatest historical military strategy games of all time and I am predicting that Rome TW will be just plain the greatest strategy game of all time, no, greatest game of all time!!
