Playing as the CSA in the Mississippi river region I have been disappointed to see that the AI Union fleet under Foote stays way up river in Nebraska! OK I have been successful in taking Cairo and St. Louis BUT the AI never even tried to stop me dominating the rivers. IRL Foote conducted joint operations with Grant's Army in the Mississippi/ Tennessee/ Ohio river regions. The AI needs to be more aggressive with its river fleets. And it needs to use them in co-operation with the Union armies.
Thanks for the things that have improved since I last played ACW2:
1) Great tool tips for the battle planner!
2) Much fewer wandering generals with no troops!
3) The Union is making some coastal attacks/ invasions now.
Thanks for continuing to improve this great game. I feel that the AI should now be the main focus for improvements.
