I think what people are looking for is something besides the exploitable, infantry based defence mechanism.
Even that I would be happy with if I could create a realistic army.
50K warriors
20K Swordsmen
10K Scouts
10K Pike,
20K Archer
10K Cavalry
5K Cataphract
5K Ballista
5K Catapults.
To me, that's a smart army. Here, it's going to get wiped out because they all chased after 10 Cavalry while 200,000 guys with bows 'sneaked up' in the other direction.
This sort of thing migh have worked in Smokey and the Bandit but not in reality. I think what people are looking for are mechanics that emulate common sense.
