It looks like we have 21 players already. I have updated first post. I still don't know if I should put gold and resources at 125 or 150. They are at 150 in Preponderance...

I would like to join this game but have yet to pick a nation, need to see what is taken so far.

Well, the resource cost for a lot of units is lower in CBM. A lot lower. Bogarus's cavalry is a *lot* more competitive for example.

I'm of two minds.. 150/150 was a lot of fun in preponderance. made a lot of builds possible that otherwise would not be.

I would be interested in seeing a game with resources at 75...

I think sites being set to 60 had a huge effect. And I think that 150/150 really encouraged and explosion - very rapid ramp ups. We are only well into the 2nd year, and already we are seeing 9 forts, 7 forts...

I think my vote would be 100/100 with sites set to 60. Make it a more subtle game, and let people learn the effects of CBM 1.4 by themselves rather than in combination with heavy resource + money.

Plus, people may want to change their nations if you change the settings. Of course, if it gets me LA ulm, I'm all in favor of it. However, MA Ermor looks a lot less interesting with heavy resources/income.
