I'm not a particular fan of ATB. While it allows for another level of complexity, it's also bulky to say the least. Initiative is fairly easy to balance around and it's an age old concept that simply just works in turn based games.
I agree on reserve slots though, 100%. I feel it's lame I have to cheese the sacrifice spell or waste time going all over to get new troops every time I level. Plus there are some fights where I'd like to use different types of troops and having to find a castle to temporarily store my troops is annoying.
