Do you play Total War realistically? For instance, when the Mongols invade and you hold territory in the east. Do you unrealistically garrison high numbers of troops in those provinces? Or do you wait until they actually get there to try to save your territory, understanding that in real life, you wouldn't have known?
I suppose this could be taken to the extreme, with you only leading armies personally when your king was leading them, but that would be boring.
So what do you think? Realism and role-playing? Or slight powergaming?
