Strategy games for the PCE

Nectaris can't be the only one. What other strategy games are there for the PCE, and which ones are good?

There are a few games that are somewhat similar to Nectaris, like:
-X-serd
-Gaiflame

KOEI has a few strategy games on PCE. In English, they are known as:
-Romance of the Three Kingdoms III
-Genghis Khan II
-Nobunaga's Ambition
-Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness

 There are some from other companies as well in the 'historical simulation' genre:
-1552 Tenka Tairan
-San Goku Shi: Eiketsu Tenka ni Nozumu
-Yokoyama Mitsuteru Shin San Goku Shi: : Tenka wa Ware ni
-Sengoku Kantou San Goku Shi
-Zan: Youen no Jidai
-Taiheiki
-NHK Taiga Drama: Taiheiki
-Sekigahara

From my playtests it seems like most of the historical simulation games use a lot of kanji for their menus. I've spent a lot of time on Lord of Darkness and Romance of the Three Kingdoms III for SNES, and both are excellent games.

Turn off the manual control in Vasteel and let the comp play out the battles and you have a good strategy game. Wish there was a way to not have to watch the battles, though. Sometimes they drag on a bit.
