I usually play as Union. Athena has been much improved but old Clovis mod made her rally shine. Mod is not active any more and Clovis is gone but when it was active, it was insaine. AI was making decisions based on his changes in code and it felt like you were playing against the human. In his mod Athena hardly ever or even never made strategical mistakes and was very hard nutt tu brake.
As ACW2 will probably come out this year with many new features of wich I can't speak right now, rest assured that AI will be more to the task.
On the other side of the coin I am still amazed what Athena manages to do as ACW is very complex and there are many decisions to be made.
Just my two cents and sorry on a small offtopic.
Forrest said something about killing a Yankee for each of his horses that they shot. In the last days of the war, Forrest had killed 30 of the enemy and had 30 horses shot from under him. In a brief but savage conflict, a Yankee soldier "saw glory for himself" with an opportunity to kill the famous Confederate General... Forrest killed the fellow. Making 31 Yankees personally killed, and 30 horses lost...
He remarked, "I ended the war a horse ahead."
