To be precise, I don't think people want slowness just for slowness' sake. What I want back is some control.
You don't command as much in R:TW. You deploy your toops and click attack. It's not quite like the same as using auto-resolve and getting to watch, but it's too close.
Sure, command and control was limited in the Medieval Era. However, at least you had time to spring a trap or watch for a gap in the line and go charging in with your knights.
The excitement of striking at just the right moment is what I miss in R:TW. It still happens, sometimes, but not often enough.
