EU III was kind of a pain in the ass because Paradox apparently thought "relentlessly chasing around a demoralized, 1 HP army" was some sort of realistic portrayal of medieval combat. A fight was never just over in EU III.
The AI is laughably easy to outflank in cities. Almost never keeps a reserve and rushes to attack the first enemies it detects so it's easy to exploit with a simple spears forward/cav sweep to the rear.Hader said:
Empire/Napoleon... well, they pretty much underlined why castles when out of fashion when true field artillery became common. Late in the game when you can have a fistful of mortars flattening everything and just enough rifle armed light infantry to discourage any attempts at messing with said mortars, seiges get very routine.
Rome: Total War is my favorite game involving siege warfare, the rest of the Total War games don't play on my computers for w/e reasons.
If any further siege warfare games are developed they have to look at cultures and eras where siege warfare actually took place, you can't really go modern with that genre. I think that's why Rome was the best of the lot, just a perfect time for that sort of game.
That said, I think I'm going to try one of the Stronghold games now, they seem to be in good standing amongst everyone here who didn't say a Total War game.
