I agree, but there's a problem because my suspension of disbief is shattered as soon as the battlelines meet. I'm immediately thrown back in front of a keyboard looking at an unbelievable sequence of events as the battle unfolds. At this point, RTW screems at me from the screen, "I'm only a silly game!". The goofball antics happening on the screen seem out of place because I don't play the game to get comedy relief. I've read interviews given by CA where they joke about the comical, unrealistic elements in the game as though they are great features.
