I have over 3000 hours invested into this game via steam, and it hands down dominates the genre not only of the civil war, but many other war games. Advanced logistics, competent AI, a brutal campaign system as you move up in difficulty, and an amazing map. After you conquer this absolute gem on vanilla, look into the J&P mod via google, and continue to dump countless hours into a perfectly curated version of this game that is even better than your initial experience. I'd rate this game nearly on par with the Total War series, and that is not something I would say about any other game honestly.
