Recommend a strategy game

[Grey_Wolf_c]

I also support the recommendation for Rome: Total War, though I will say that, at least to my recollection, artillery in R:TW was at best lackluster - especially for its cost - to the point that I'd recommend against including any in most armies. If you're looking for a game where field artillery is the queen of the battlefield, I would say that Rome: Total War is not that game.

Artillery in R:TW has one purpose: assaulting the city on the turn you arrive, instead of having to siege it for a turn or two so you can build siege equipment.

It fulfills that critical role like nothing else can. But otherwise, yes, it is not as effective as archers.
