Now, if you want better than Medieval: Total War it's probably a (much) smaller list:

Imperial Glory (a matter of taste.. I think this game's the best thing since sliced bread and porn)
Axis & Allies

Imperial Glory looks decent, but it seems like it is heavily inspired on MTW & RTW, also it seems to have less units capacity. There are only 50 maps and 5 nations, RtW has more.

And since it is only recently in store who knows if it doesn't has a nasty bug like the save/load thing.

Axis & Allies I dont know, I found the Close Combat serries pretty good as for a WW2 game, but that are just obsolete games.

As for porn it depends HOW and IF you are paying for it
