Different mods are good at different things. If you were to give an award to the best mod in each of the following categories, which would it be?

Most immersed in WWII history?
Most intelligent AI?
Best graphics?
Most interesting alternative history?
Most challenging?
Most open-ended and unpredictable?

Feel free to add other categories.

If you feel that vanilla 1.3a or b is the winner in some categories, you should feel free to say that as well.

Hmm for Multi player I would say Starfire right now. It tends to have the best combat system. Mithel really concentrates on the COmbat system. It is basically vanilla with a new combat system (Their is more to it as Mithel hits many other areas but thats what he is known for the most)

On most intelligent AI, votes are really split. Lothos divides his own vote three ways -- TRP, Vanilla, and Starfire. Another respondent seconds vanilla 1.3b. But yet another says: nothing of the above, the best is DAIM. Anybody care to break the tie?
