What do Total War fans think about MoW?

[CzaD]

In Empire TW, I remember one art: a column of British soldiers marching along a road in the forest and Indians hiding in the bushes on both sides of the road. Sort of The Last of Mohicans scene. I loved the art but it made me realise that unfortunately there are limits to how I can plan my ambushes in TW games. In MoW, on the other hand, I am enjoying the huge freedom of what I can do on the battlefield.
