"Warhammerified" and dumbed down gameplay of Three Kingdoms

I hope you are talking about the campaign map because you are dead wrong about the battlemap being dumbed down considering aerial warfare is a very dangerous new sphere of combat and 10 wildly different schools of magic round out the magic realm. Because bracing, shieldwall (and some would argue Phalanx is now dynamic on Halbrediers as they can poke around each other after they fan out) are automatic now you can't just pivot your unit on a dime and drop the ability so maneuver warfare is not only a thing, it's THE thing for some factions. WH is the first TW I've ever needed to use actual hotkeys in battle for speed over convenience. Asrai & Skaven are micro nightmares as Asrai have 360 arcs with tons of damage but low ammo and can't afford to have shots blocked with shields and Skaven rout at the drop of a hat, don't have a rally point and need to be manually goaded back into the battle.
