General Sherman - "Union McUnion pants, I need you to take your 2000 men and walk over to that fence that's about six feet away so that we can flank those yellow-bellied Confederates and save our men that they're attacking!"

Union McUnion pants - "What's that, Sherman? Despite you deactivating my and my leader's ability to make individual decisions because we can be pretty braindead, and the lack of any fued between us both because I respect your command, you want me to ignore your orders entirely, wheel my men around in a random direction, take 30 minutes to actually get to that fence, and then wheel my men again out of that cover making it entirely useless and causing my entire group to take insane casualties and rout instantly while none of our men fire back at all? Oh, and that confederate cavalry unit of about 250 dudes that's very slowly walking towards us, you want me to ignore them entirely too? Can do!"

Would be fun if the AI wasn't entirely braindead. Plus the AI seems like it cheats a bit? Had a few confederate units refusing to rout even after taking maybe 50% casualties, despite it being their first battle, while the men they were shooting at fell apart instantly after losing 5%. They were volunteers equipped with the best weapons I could give them with one of the best commanders I could provide, by the by.
Plus the Confederate geniuses working in the navy sending 3 boats constisting of 9 guns total to attack my main fleet consisting of 17 boats with well over 200 guns made laugh.
