The coolest game around

Lots of strategy games today are, bluntly, **** Missions r boring and repetive, same build sequence same thing over and over again. This is none of them. This game doesn't have the best graphics BUT the scale is immense!!! Also if the graphics were lets say in Oblivion category u would need like 2 DX10 cards cause imagine fighting 10000 units on screen at once in Oblivion. The units are extremly cool with special attacks like the pilum of a Legionary Cohort or the warcry of the barbarians and so on. Also most units have more than one weapon. Lets say a Hoplite uses a spear but if they get surrounded and their spears r useless then they take out swords. A army of even just a couple hundred looks striking on the battlefield. Don't be mislead though, this game isn't about who has the most units (well obviously more units is an advantage) because when u have a HUGE army (couple thousand) it will be hard to give specific tasks and tactics to everyone, Also u will loose room to manuveour. I know lots of games say they need strategy, take Supreme Commander for example but all it really is is just countering enemy units with ur own so it is like a rock paper siscor formula. In this u need to know how each unit works and it is extremly satisfying when u get it right. I had a squad of Hoplites (pretty basic units) and they lost 18 soldiers in one battle but killed 300!! Also ur units gain experience after battles depending on how well they do so u have a reason to not throw ur armies into suicide. Every battle will be different and assault or defending cities is extremly fun and kinda reminds me of LOTR 3 (movie)
