Hi Techumseh,
I'm pleased to hear you are enjoying the scenario. I put a lot of effort in it and are happy to see that it seems to have paid off. But to be honest I haven't revisited it since my last update. As you know I've been working on my next project on the Vietnam War.
I will admit that I'm still surprised to hear players are having difficulty with the Confederate AI 's level of aggressiveness. I played quite a few full games during my testing and I never really recall having experienced significant drops in the AI's level of aggressiveness unless my forces were at a relatively significant distance from Rebel troops, and this despite the fact that I often traded significantly with Southern cities (as you know trade has a tendency to improve relations). As soon as I approached their lines they almost always responded with, at times, very robust counterattacks.
I wonder if it's related to the overall strategies players are using. For my part I almost always used the three pronged approach, i.e. through Virginia, Tennessee/Kentucky and the Mississippi Valley. Because of this strategy I was almost always in contact with Rebel forces on at least one of the fronts.
All the same, your idea of adding the ModifyReputation event, as we did for the French/British intervention, should resolve the problem once and for all. Let me know you're results and if positive I will add it to the event and release an updated version of the scenario.
