It's all about logistics (but maybe one can argue this is a part of strategic science) and shorcuts and nervous clickings all around the place (and loads more of those two).
Yeah, I liked them too, and can't play them anymore.
But I disagree that there was no strategy involved. For example you could focus on archers and cheap infantry and find a narrow spot where you could block the enemy's army of heavy infantry so that all your units could attack but most of his had to wait for the front row to die you could hold the line with a fraction of the investment.
My problem was that you could expand your economy to the point where losses didn't matter anymore and any complicated became unmanageable. I wouldn't even call that logistics it was just building.
If there were more limiting factors like you have only so much population that you can waste it would be more fun.
