For Total War Rome 2 and Attila, is the GPU or CPU more important for huge battles at Max settings?

Performance expert, building noob. 

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

It likely has a lot of physics calculations and ai calculation (due to all the troops), so likely cpu, but I'm not 100% sure

Well to make it really simple for you:

CPU = All the small things, many stuff moving at the same time, helmets flying around, physics on the capes they are wearing, the arrows flying through the sky.

GPU: The looks of the game, the quality of the textures and all other things related to how the game looks.

The game has a lot of both, so if you have a bad CPU or GPU doesn't matter because the game will probably not run smoothly if either one is bad.

(Note: Just because a game looks really good doesn't mean it's more GPU demanding than CPU, in-case someone tries to correct me on this.)
