In my game musketeers don't use rapiers and stubbornly continue to reload and shoot during melee..

Yes. I admit, it's also stupid :) Just pointing out the approach to the problem: they knew they can't improve the AI much, so they simplified the game for it. Kosciuszko Uprising is a notable exception though. I recall the bots being able to walk in lines and volley fire there.

Some criticism: you seem not to keep in mind the stupidity of Warband's AI.
1) Some of your custom maps (forest with a huge ditch for example) is too difficult for it's pathfinding. So the bots get stuck.
Also I prefer random maps to custom ones, but it's just my opinion. See Mount & Bade: Rise of Nationalism, if you don't believe, that random maps aren't suited for napoleonic combat.
2) Foot cavalry defeats infantry, because infantry with bayonets only hit in one direction and infanrty with musket butts can hardly land a hit at all, because of the small range of their weapon, with which the bots can't handle.
Napoleonic Wars has a WAY better melee system than you.
3) Cavalry with pistols/carbines are annoying and at the same time very useless, when they circle around trying to shoot you and always missing. The less weapons the bot carries, the easier it is for the AI to choose. So the optimal choice for the AI is to leave the cavalry with only one weapon (melee). Rise of nationalism and Napoleonic Wars also follow this trend in general.
4) Bayonet charges are very rare from the AI on huge flat maps, because it stops to reload after shot and then shots again, stops, reloads.... In Rise of Nationalism bots can reload while walking, for example. But it will be a problem online. People don't really like this.
5) Well, that's not about the AI, but please, make the fashionable clothes cheaper :3 I can't afford it x)

Look for inspiration in Rise of Nationalism, Napoleonic Wars and Twilight of the Sun King. There are many useful solutions there, which you can borrow to make your mod better. Best wishes.

I like vanilla looks and gameplay a lot, so if you suddenly start making troops look like the soldiers form the assassins creed 3 or anything, could you make two different versions of the mod, one with revolutions only and another with all the other ideas included also? I know it's easier said than done, but you shall have my eternal gratitude.

Can't you all just leave the poor guy alone and stop fooling around with idiotic jokes and premature compares with L'Aigle?

Impressive job with the ai, but why does every modder stuff up his mods with this nonsense, like 100.000 new identical units for Britain alone or making fire mechanics different? When an idea of a good mod improving ai comes to your mind, why do you need to start adding all this optional cumbersome stuff? Why not to make different versions of the mod or some kind of options in the launcher for these to be turned on/off?
