Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Recruiting.
I've played with hunt before happy to have him.
In the other games they had set up whiteboards and forums - how was that done, may I ask? |

even though i'm just an alt, i'd have to recommend CBM for sure. just the pretender part makes the choices and strats so much more interesting.

So we have 17 available nations (excluding the vet picks and water nations). Grouped into 3's and ranked from least to most desireable. That's 5 groups of 3's, I guess the sixth round/group would only contain 2 then? Regarding the AI choices. If your intention above is to reserve some "decent" nations for the AI by assigning them out of the first round picks, that might work, though I'm sure Gandalf will be able to work with whatever is left. |

I'm fine with standard. I think with a large number of noob players, it is probably a good idea.

CBM would be my choice too. Especially the Pretenders but I would just play CBM full given a choice.
It helps Noobs and AIs more than Vets as it in general makes weak things better. This means that poorer choices in Pretender design or army builds are not punished so much as they are more viable (but still not equal to the better choices) as they would be in stock. Plus it adds to the variety as more summons, pretender choices, spells, magic items and troop types become viable. It's also becoming the default mod for games. A year or two ago the only commonly seen mod was Worthy Heroes and most games had that. Now it's CBM - so even for learning purposes playing with CBM is better. Many/most of the modern guides are CBM or at least have CBM bits to them too. I don't mind playing with stock but it is in all ways worse than CBM. I also like graphs on, 15 Hall of Fame, Standard or Difficult research and Renaming On. After all humerous renaming of Thugs and Mages is part of the fun :) EDIT: My Captain and I don't seem to agree on anything so far :p |
Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Recruiting.
I haven't played a game vanilla in over a year. Without CBM I almost don't know how to play anymore. Like several others, having at least CBM pretenders would be nice, since it makes a lot more pretenders usable. But I don't feel too strongly either way, I can cope if we end up playing w/out cbm.

I'm good with having Chripederson as my captain.
