Thanks for what must have been alot of work.

I'm not much for multiplayer lately (maybe soon), but I've always appreciated most of the CB changes. Admittedly the sitesearching nerf will be the most difficult to get used to, but it seems like I'm always swimming in gems anyway due to the increased research costs of schools. I'm curious why you decided to up the resource cost of archers rather than the recruit cost. It always seems like gold is more of a limiting factor than resources, especially considering upkeep of the always useful "crossbow horde armies" running around. It seems realistic to have the training cost of archers more than regular footmen.

Regarding Blade Wind: I've had this used as the only spell in my Ulm armies; in the old CB mod it was completely worth it to have a half-dozen or so smiths with boots to deal with vine ogre/skeleton/maenad hordes. I've yet to tool with it now, but that spell was ridiculously useful compared to other spells in that research level.
