The Civil War aspect of Skyrim was poorly thought out and executed. It is similar to every game Behtesda have ever made. The only way to make the Civil War aspect of the game enjoyable is to download the "civil war overhaul mod" from the nexus. That actually improves the story by adding loads of cut content from that particular section of the game and includes more enemies to face. So instead of facing exclusively light armored soldiers, you could come across mages, assassins, thiefs, mercs and animals. The first time I came across a tamed stormcloak giant during the battle of Whiterun I was terrified. One giant wouldn't be that bad but when you have 4 giants plus, wolfs, assassins and oads more enmies attacking your position from every angle it is scary.
