I want to try Medieval now that it's so cheap. But it sounds like the previous TW games played like this PS game called KESSEN based during the Tokugawa period. Great game that let you pick units and assign generals, but the battles were tediously slow. I have ADD and I gave up because even simple battles would take 30 minutes because the maps were huge and the units moved slowly. It was agonizing to try to save a losing battle and waiting for my reinforcing units to march across the map like it was the state of california.

The maps don't have to be huge, just big enough to allow enough tactical movements so that one "gets the idea" so to speak. And have enough terrain to use ancient war tactics. I don't want to play a game where it's like a Dragonball Z episode where both sides posture and decieve and posture and deceive before the big apocolytic battle. Just fight already.
