Re: Do you use CBM?
i always play with the latest cbm, mostly because of some changes i really like... i´m specially enjoying the latest changes to MA Man, even if they are still one of the underdogs...

Re: Do you use CBM?
The thing I dislike most about CBM is the constant minor changes. Recent example is ashdod sacreds having a minor encumberance change. The 'spill over' effects of this is quite large, so I tweak scales, but then the productivity scale has been changed. So I consider another pretender and blahblahblahblah
Mod should be re-christianed competitive balance mod, make a few minor changes (strip out gem gens), then only work on fixing underpowered nations. IMHO YMMV HTH HAND

Only nitpicking: IMHO its not enough to preclude an answer/guide/whatever with CBM or Vanilla.
If CBM you also need which version the answer is for. |

Re: Do you use CBM?
A lot of this is also available ingame. You should notice changes when you do a new pretender testrun.

That 'minor' encumbrance change was not intended to be minor. It was a major intentional balance tweak, that directly addressed one of the major imbalancing problems with Ashdod. |

Re: Do you use CBM?
Nobody really plays Ashdod, I think they might even be a bit underpowered right now. One of that nationspells is useless (whee 50+ dgems for units you cannot GoR, and you lose a mage). Encumberance that forces you to take e8+ if you go with sacreds, etc.
And with the dreadful reputation they have it is a diplomatic nightmare to play ashdod. Lets call it the Baalz factor.
Quick we must gank Ashdod/Baalz because he is so powerful!
