I don't think you can.
I tried playing Warhammer 2 and I like it sometimes but I barely boot it up because it's so tedious to play.
The campaign feels like shit, the battles feel like shit.
>Minor faction declares war on you for no reason
>Beelines towards your shittiest village with 2 full stacks of trash units
>Because of province system you still need to give a shit about that gay ass backwater because chances are you built something in it that you need or you flat out need the full province bonus or the extra income
>At most you can try to recruit a lord but you can't pump out units and your control over garrisons is almost non-existent (and the garrison won't hold because it's like 10 trash units at most)
>You have maybe 1 and a half armies that are worth anything, armies that would obliterate that faction, but you can't because the AI cheats, their armies march and recover like they're on steroids and morphine and amphetamines all at once
>Spend 5 turns rebuilding your mudhut and pushing the minor faction back to their capital
>Either fight a siege that sucks and win it easily or lose in autoresolve
>Repeat till you snowball by which point the AI is hopelessly outmatched, then just mappaint with autoresolving doomstacks
>Say "fuck it" and decide to actually manually fight a battle
>Repeat the same strategy over and over (focus their range + hammer & anvil if outgunned, bombard and kite if you have superior ranged) because anything else gives you higher casualties than you can afford with AI and their infinite trash stacks
>Time to kill is too high to enjoy battles up close anyway, and the AI is retarded and tedious so you also want to end battles as fast as you can
>Even if stars allign and you get a nice setup for a fight it's ruined by some retarded animations
>Can't even get the AI to agree to peace so you have to genocide them every time all because they wanted that shitty village that is the only place in the region where you can get good units

Realistically, how do we fix this franchise? It seems like no one in the strategy player base is fully happy with it.
