As long as i keep a good general in the army with at least 4 stars the battles aren't all that hard, just challenging, which is what i like.

I wish RTW had kept this system instead of giving the AI stupid +7 attack making battles really quick and completely un-enjoyable. A morale bonus would have been fine. But since CA sold out anyway and concentrated on graphics instead of AI and other things the battles would still be a doddle.
