Default Re: Do you use CBM?

Here are few changes I have noticed, mainly from playing MP games. I think the great majority of options provided by CBM are positive, please do not misunderstand me. I just do not undestand why certain alterations were necessary. As I have only examined the differences of nations that I have played in MP, I can only provide a limited amount of data based on play experience.

EA

Kailasa (assuming mod references altered the specific unit type, rather than creating a new unit, these changes will be present in Bandar Log and Patala)

Atavi and Bandar archers have attack and defence decreased. The reduced attack score only matters when they run out of ammunition, or forced into melee. The reduced defence puzzles me.

Bandar swordsmen seemed to have reduced morale. At first I thought that all Bandar were nerfed, but on closer examination, it was only the swordsmen.

Naga have awe?


Ulm.

Big changes across the board, those that I have noticed seem to be thematic. Such as ambidexterity and berserk. Berserk on multi attacking, high damage, recruit everywhere units seems a bit overpowered to me, even taking fatigue into consideration.


Agartha.

Mountain survival?

A lot of the units seem to have slight increase to base protection as well as an increase to hp.


MA

Machaka.

Spider armour defence penaty increased and encumberance reduced by one. With alterations to weapon values, spider warriors and bane spiders end up +1 attack -1 defence and encumberance.

Black Hunter MR increase. Major increase to their Hunter Spider secondshape, results in an animal-type with above average MR.



Just a few observations from recent mp games. Many weapon and armour stats have been changed, of course resource and gold costs. Many of the changes made, make a certain amount of sense and are consistent with the Dominions 'mythology.' The intent behind other changes is not so clear to me. I can provide a more extensive list if you would like, but I do not want to appear overly critical.
