Re: Is the fighting in Rome Total War too quick? Perhaps not.
The percentage dead in RTW is ridiculous, to say the least. Take a look at casualties pre-WW1. Even bloodbaths like antietam and Gettysburg which were fought with guns did not have more than 50% casualties. In RTW, I routinely win battles with 1 or NO survivors. In MTW, even a crushing victory left the enemy with a sizable amount of survivors, it felt like a battle, not a video game. 100% losses is absurd.

"Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
