Rome TW was the best for me. Loved playing multiplayer with it.

I'd max out the number of infantry units and take no cavalry or archers. Then perform a horns of the buffalo envelopment and slaughter everyone.

I could force the engagement and ignore the archers knocking out a few troops on my way forward. If any cavalry did try to charge the flank or rear I always had enough units to surround them once they did.
