I'm going to bow out, so Niefelheim is free.

I still just can't buy into the CB mod's changes.

BTW if anyone feels not experienced enough for that game I am starting a semi-newbie game with CBM 1.2

I recall you played with dom2 CB, what has changed so much from then?

My experience with CB under Dom 2 is actually part of what has turned me off of playing with the mod now.

In CB Dom 2, I did not like having to start a game to see the changes the mod has made, and I definitely do not have time for it now. Complete documentation would help here.

Also, if CB's philosophy was purely "no nerfing good stuff, only buffing bad stuff," I'd be MUCH more apt play with it. While it has gone more in that direction with the latest version, there are still cost increases to nationals, etc.

I just don't play the game enough to know optimal strategies for vanilla Dom 3, let alone how to adjust my play to take into account the CB changes. (This wouldn't be as much of an issue if the changes were buffs only.)

I don't think the current CB has really any more nerfs than the dom2 version. As I've stated before, the goal is to use boosts as much as is possible, and in fact 99% of changes fall into that category. I'll agree the documentation could use improvement, the main reason it kept pace better in dom2 was Edi's assistance.

In any case case, it would certainly not be hard documentation wise to make a 'redlist' of the nerf changes, given they do make up such a tiny percentage of the tweaks, if people would find that helpful.

Even a list of nations with no nerfs to nationals would be super-cool.

That's even easier, everyone but Lanka, ME ermor, Mictlan,
Niefelhiem, and LE Agartha. And the Niefelhiem/Mictlan ones are very minor.
