Because the 4x part of Total War is trash compared to a proper 4x game. And the tactical battles, while not horrible, just isn't as fun as playing AoE2.
That's my problem with the franchise - both parts get pretty quickly stale in a campaign, which leads to a boring campaign part with inadequate AI and a click on auto-resolve.
Loading times certainly don't help either if you don't have an SSD to cut them down. I think Shogun 2 was a weird case for me because I got its combat and then dabbled into Paradox's Sengoku for the campaign play. Kinda wish the campaign segment didn't get relegated to "pretty downtime between battles" in recent Total War titles, though. Maybe I'm just jaded.
