Looking for a game like Black and White 2 with more Combat

Looking for a game like Black and White 2 with more combat options other than just recruiting basic footmen and archers.

I want a type of RTS game like black and white 2 where it's not just fighting all the time.

Where i can build a large city and grow population and build monuments with more extensive combat options like Total War 2 or Rome total war.

Can anyone recommend me a good game like this?

Age of Empires III?

... Wait there's a B&W 3 coming!?

*spooges*

If you can get past the graphics the original stronghold and stronghold: crusader gamesare fun to play. They have afairly deep economic model (setting rations, multi stage food production lines,manufacturing weapons and armorfrom wood, iron, and leather)castle building, and diverse combat (siege catapults and towers, a fairly basic fire system, and a variety of units).
