I play on 1Sgt Lvl too, because I dont like giving the AI ahistorical advantages, that being said I am in Mid 1863, and the AI is attacking out west, in fact it is doing a great job of spreading me out, and has attacked along the Ohio river this turn forcing me once again to send a Strong Corp to repulse them again. I have landed in Texas, and taken the Capitol there, and have retaken missouri. The CSA western forces continue to try an disrupte my supply by moving behind the lines as I advance. In the East, Fredricksuburg has changed hands 6 times, and the last turn the CSA attacked Maryland DC area, the battle, the biggest battle of the war so far. I outnumbered the South 2.5 to 1 and it rained the whole battle, which cut loses down, the south lost 32,000 I lost 25,000 as the north. the outcome was never really in doubt but they did break a number of Union bgds. I have more troops and better weapons, which is as it should be, but the AI in my game continues to advance. I only do detailed battles, whith a few instant when the outcome wont really matter. I am at 17 Victory points, I do not control KY, even tho it came in on the side of the Union. I have taken parts of TN, and am just starting my push to take the Forts along the Mississippi. I find he AI to do what it should do, for the most part. I try an play with a historical flavor and try and not to overwhelm the AI, but play as the North did. I play with Govenors on for the simple reason it adds flavor and forces me to have to deal with a political side of the game as the North had to do. I also when requested by a Gov, put their friends in commands. I also try an promote Gen from states which I raise the troops (not always the best General). All that being said, I too wouldnt mind a few Ai tweaks that could perhaps be another Scen or so so that the AI takes a different path. I always play the game that starts in may/june?. I find this gives the south a little help in detailed battles, because the Northern armies break and run due to Morale loses, often dropping weapons that I just bought, and now have to spend money again. I also try and do what Govoners want, even if it does not makes sense to me, like putting in a Horse farm in a area that I use for Iron production. It will be a waste of Money, but I look at it as keeping the War effort happy. I Love this game, and playing the detailed battles are amazing, I name all my Bgd's, give them all their own flags, I try and keep gen from the same states in bgd's that were raised in that state. The AI is the AI, and the Human player will always have an advantage.
