If only the sequel had been nearly as good.
At least I got some neat gameplay with Shogun 2. Despite TW: WH being quite good in terms of animations and battle gameplay, the campaign feels a bit stale by now. Not much innovation since the glory days of Rome 1.

Every single game is easy once you learn how to exploit some mechanic or another.
The vaunter WRE challenge in Attila was indeed challenging - it was impossibly boring to fight the same garrison battle over and over, winning 90%.
