Without mods it can be annoying because it's predictable. The factions that have chariots slaughter everyone on autoresolve and dominate the campaign map. Doesn't lead to much variety without the mods.

As far as the RTS combat goes, I don't think they've made a better engine yet.
I played XGM a lot my first time with the game. I even did a massive Cyrenaica AAR on TOTALWAR.org. I'm playing vanilla now but heavily modded. I can't get XGM to run on the Mac.

The chariot problem is easily rectified by changing secondary hit points for non-chariot units in the EDU file.

With fatigue off and Darth's formation mod, the RTS battles are the best of any game ever made.
