Largest battle to date, 50,000 units of chaos[Shogun 2] : totalwar

I've had some pretty large battles in my career as a general, but nothing even remotely close to this scale.

I played last games of this series but battles get confusing at times.

That seems like something that would happen in real life battlefields too, especially since you don't have a convenient HUD with all details and shortcuts to help you.

No actually the sheer amount of Army you are commanding and so many types and each with specific strength and weakness makes it confusing.

is this real-time? or turn by turn?

^ Its army based not turn by turn..its one of the most realistic RTS out there

 

[heidi2521]

Turn based campaign map managing your empire/clan and building cities and armies with real time battles when armies collide.

Its a RTS not TBS.
If you want to play TBS then XCOM is real good.

The game has two parts:

1. Campaign Map - this is where you build buildings, train troops and give orders to your agents and armies to move or attack. This part is turned based.
2. Battle Map - Once your army attacks an enemy or is attacked by them, a battle starts on a large battle map. This part is RTS.
