Mod Conceptual Balance 1.3, updated documentation - Page 6

Suggestion for next iteration (and thank you for this, <3 CBM!):

Hidden in Snow and Hidden in Sand are ridiculously too expensive for what you get. Even dropping them to 50 gems may not make them cost effective enough, but still might have people casting them occasionally, from Enchantment bonus sites.

As has been noted, the Bogarus heavy cavalry Grid and Malai Druzhina have weapon problems. Looking in the dm, it seems you've also used #rec instead of #rcost, so their resource costs are higher than you intended, I think.

I'm having repeated nagot problems with can't open: dogfriend.tga from worthy heroes 1.8, given the only mod I have installed is CBM, and reinstalling it hasn't helped, anyone have advice how to get my dom3 working again?

CBM comes with that graphic in a subfolder. Are you sure it's extracted properly?

I've fixed this stuff in the CBM that I use (the bogarus cavalry is a case of qm getting the unit numbers confused between the grid and the malai for example) but I don't want to upload it because A) It's easy to fix if you want to and B) I don't want to be uploading alternate versions of CBM that confuse people.

I'm hoping to get out a new version in the next couple weeks.

Hey QM are you still planning on updating Worthy Heroes/Burning Heroes as well?

Oh come on, who doesn't want to join a game that advertises it is using CBM 1.3.005?

Then I can make an alternate version that applies a couple of changes, but leaves yours out..... then we can all have 10-12 versions of it, and not be able to tell any of them apart.

Just out of curiosity what program do you open the file with to fix stuff?

The .dm files are normal text files with a different ending. Before editing, make a copy of the original CB file. Changing the mod will only affect your personal copy of it, and if you play in a MP game the server has a different version of the mod, the battle replays won't always match.

To learn what the modding commands do, open modding.pdf from Dominions 3\doc. If you just want to change Bogarus cavalry, you probably won't need anything but the weapon command.
