On land I can win some pretty absurd battles through careful deployment and cavalry charges to the flank (works like a charm) no such luck at sea.
And even then, a superior ship or superior numbers almost always wins anyways. After several attempts I finally found that in order to win reliably you have to either outweigh your foe, or use broadsides the latter requires insane levels of micromanagement. This was one of the big draws for me towards Empire: Total War, the chance to finally control some of those battles that I've always had to just heavily-outnumber-and-autocalc before. I've always been fascinated by naval warfare - particularly old-style, age-of-sail naval warfare fought with cannon, shot and sword (or arrows, rams, and spears as the era allows).
