My favourites are Shogun 2 and Medieval 2. Shogun 2 added a lot to the series, and i thought it struck the right balance between being streamlined and still having a lot of depth. Rome 2 has even worse AI than previous games it seems, and so so many bugs. Battle UI is terrible too, and i found myself unable to play anymore after about 10 hours simply because i was bored. Campaign Map AI is simply far too passive, i have fought no large field battles, only attacked small raiding units and cities/towns because the AI factions refuse to make large armies. I'm a huge TW fan, and on the whole i do like Rome 2, but i can't recommend it to people because with 40% bigger budget over previous titles some of the flaws are inexcusable.
