First the story moves faster than time itself, sieges and character movement in the map last less than 1 month apparently first few episodes a lot happened between october and december of the year 320.
Heros/Main characters of the story at one point can't die or suffer a bit.
The best strategist can leave a castle with decoys dodge a besieging army and arrive LATE at the battle with already built in weapons to kill elephants placed strategically.
Don't know what's more boring looking at the story with crazy strategies just for Narsus to uncover everything and always win, or the characters single handly kill 100 enemy paper soldiers.
