You should set it up to e-mail you. I don't think I could cope without that feature.

Yes, I set it to receive emails whenever I receive a pm. And on the other board I receive emails whenever someone posts :P If I didn't I would constantly be refreshing the forums and that would just get ridiculously annoying after a while.

Yeah, CBM is a mod. Theoretically there will be either a download or a link to the download on the first page of this thread once we're ready to send in pretenders. Then you download it, unzip the mod and place the folder and .dm file in your dominions mods folder (C:\Program Files\dominions3\mods is the default path on windows).

On second glance, actually it seems CBM probably won't have a folder, but will have a .tga file alongside the .dm. There's no real difference really, you still just copy both of them into your mods folder.

CBM alters the costs, stats, and abilities of things a little in order to encourage more variety in gameplay. It strengthens some of the less used gods, reduces some summon prices and path costs, changes light cavalry to make it more useful in melee, etc. I believe it comes with a full changelog, so you can look through that to see what all changes it makes. I think the changelog is a little out of date though.

Since I cannot determine whether the 1.41 custom on Llamasever is the same as 1.41c, and can't find 1.41b, and to avoid confusion, we'll be using CBM 1.41, a link will be provided on the main page. The vets will just have to deal with the small Agartha bug.

Hosting will probably be set to 36 for the initial 20. Bear in mind though, this will mean less time for organization and communication between turns.
