I had the same thing when I first came to the Total War series. My first gaming experience was the original Warcraft back in 1994 and Ive played that series and most other real time strategies to death since then. I came to the Total War series with Rome (although I have since bought MTW 1) and the difference was as you say. My micromanaging "skillz" from playing Warcraft 3 online availed me not. But now... I would find it hard to go back to most other strategy series.
