I dislike the build-type RTS games like C&C and War/starcraft. I am a warlord not an architect. Give men an army and I'll led them to glory.
Which is why I favor the Total War games. Rome is far and away the best, M2 was slow and unresponsive (and your guys would not keep a formation, always spreading further and further out), Empire and Napoleon had aboslutely re-fucking-tarded AI to worsen an already "meh" game (even worse is they bragged about how smart the AI was in the promos for Empire).
