Honestly, I would love EB2 to be Siege Total War. So much roleplaying...

Ugh, wat?

I hope (/trust) you're being sarcastic. There's too few large decisive major field battles as it is and too much besieging cities, sitting on your ass for a few turns, defeating sally attempts and moving onto the next siege. Add a few stacks of 2-3 units wandering around there and that's Total War for you.

aye, as a matter of fact, the most often used way to engage in a major battle for me is lay a siege when there is a large army around and wait for it to try to relieve the city. otherwise they just retreat before any decisive fighting starts even when outnumbering you 1:1.5 . i've tried to pursue with horse skirmishers but the casualties inflicted in this manner are neglectable. traps work sometimes but only if the terrain allows it.

however if the new map is 1.3 times larger then maybe there is more room for maneuvering. has there been an official preview of the new strategic map?
