Is there any way to make battles more strategically decisive?

sorry I messed up my message wrong word choice and word order.

here it goes again:

well..... isn't that what happens when you have a large empire??? The ability to raise large armies in a few turns. Besides, single desicive battles RARELY caused the downfall of an empire when such an empire was well managed. Battles became Decisive when the king was killed, or the empire was already in the brink of collapse.


But.... I do agree that the late game needs to be worked out a little better, especially with Squalor, and the ever increasing populations that makes cities imposible to govern. All else, is fine in my book.

I see your point better now....

But the Seleucids where in deep internal trouble when its battles with Rome came around, and so was Macedonia before them. The Aeudi/Arverni were even wrost.

I don't know about the others though, my history doesn't go that far.

Now.... I think what your trying to get will be better addressed in EB2 since MTWII has some new features about recruitment that limit the number of elites. (at least thats what I read, I haven't played the game yet)
