I will play the CB mod. In fact I am playing it right now in one MP game. It's good, but I prefer vanilla. I think the game should be played as most new players would play it, without mods.

I fail to see how CB makes all spells and units equally useful, to be honest. Still no use for vyvern, giant eagle and bog beast, etc etc.

This is always debatable, but I've used wyverns, for instance, to great effect in CB. Try MA Man and use dragon master and you can get a very large force early game. I have used and seen used:

Summon animals
Summon Bane
Summon Sea Dogs
Prison of Fire
Bind Bone Fiends
Harm
Summon Sea lions
... etc.

And that's just the spells.

Those are indeed an _exceptionally_ cool set of fixes.

Definitely very happy to see the maximum number of commanders and units increased!! This is terrific news!

I thought you would be happy NTJedi!

I wonder if IW could give us the numbers of the new limits. Just so we could do rough calculations of how big a maps we can play with Pan or Ermor.

Maximum number of units have been increased by two and maximum number of commanders by four.

[llamabeast]

By two?!! Well that won't make a lot of difference then!

[I am being a pain. I presume JO meant a factor of two.]

[Zeldor]

Percent? Or 2 more units and 4 more commanders?

Thankfully, thats not what CB is supposed to do. If all units were equal, the game would become boring. CB is supposed to make more units/spells etc, useful (at the very least a niche use) rather than having one set of units that are good and the rest that are useless, as in Vanilla.
