How are other RTS's against the Total War Series? After growing up and playing only Total War, I hate the idea of having either Civilization styled games (where everything's about campaign map) and Starcraft like games (where everything's on the battlefield).
I love the realism and therefore, the relateability/common sense approach with Total War when it comes to battles. Cover your flanks, spears beat calvary, swordsmen are better suited against spearmen, Phalanx/Pike own all (but vulnerable in flanks and archers).
Then you could get into more complex strategies like ambushes (both on campaign map and on battles), using siege weapons, horse archers, etc.
I'm rambling now =/
