Been thinking of buying this, as I love Total War and RPGs, but is the real-time battles balanced? It seems to include flying units and magic, can anyone confirm? Have they balanced this well, or are there several tiresome curbstomp-setups? Is the AI even remotely competent (or can be made challenging by higher difficulty-levels)? The AI in Total War isn't all that hawt, but it's atleast a challenge when playing on VeryHard/Hard, since they almost always outnumber you three to one.
