Also, unusual answer: Rome Total War. Great game that helped Total War reach the high, high peaks of Medieval 2 Total War and Shogun 2 Total War. However, because of the way recruitment worked and the sheer size of the requirements for victory, for most nations the late game becomes an incredible drag.

Do you have any idea how much of a drag it is to try and mobilize the full military might of half Europe in that game?
