In those games, you get the feeling you are controlling actual people, while in Imperial Glory you are controlling 3D models with no fear for their own safety. What makes the Total War games manageable is that regiments will flee if they take too much damage or get blindsided on a flank or from the rear. Infantry stand at point-blank range and take cannon shot to the face and they'll keep on taking it until you decide to manually move them. Units and regiments in Imperial Glory all fight to the death, and will not retreat no matter the odds and regardless of how much damage they take.

Imperial Glory is the upcoming turn-based/real-time hybrid game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Developer Pyro Studios went to great lengths to give the game an authentic look. If you use Rome: Total War as the benchmark, Imperial Glory falls a bit short it's not that it's a waste of time, but you can't help but think that it should have turned out a lot better than it did. Fair or not, any game that tries to blend turn-based global strategy with epic 3D real-time battles is going to be compared to the watershed title of that particular genre.
