I was pondering today why we never really played more Total War multiplayer games (excluding the fact that the campaign map is awesome) and some random actually gave me the answer:

'You usually find out every time that some kind of unit is way stronger or way weaker than you expected, and that sends all of your plans out of the window. Then you spend the rest of the battle minimizing the losses and mumbling about how overpowered the enemy units seem.
Also, charging the pikemen on the rear only so that your charging unit does an unexplainable turn to directly run in front of the pikes.
So, the usual stuff you do in Total War, without the satisfaction of knowing you have any kind of advantage or ace up your sleeve, like you do when you moved around the armies in the tactical map.'

Now somebody mentions it, makes a lot of sense. Made me think of you for some reason :D Hope you're well!
