That's cool with the PBEM; what battles need to be auto-resolved?

That's exactly my opinion with STW and MTW, too. They are the best!
I would say the first TW game you played or owned is the one you find is the best; in my case that is MTW.
I recently read around in the totalwar.org forums and there are some "hardcore" members who say that Shogun is the best of the TW games because it is well balanced and is the most immersive because of the Throne room the assassination movies and so on. Although I agree with both points I say that Shogun's balance and low variety of troops among the factions is one of it's major weak spots because the long term motivation suffers from it. On the other hand there are many things better in Shogun than in Medieval, for instance the 4 turns per year which results in only one income every 4 turns = 1 year and the seasons wich have a big influence on the battles and so on and so on...
