Greetings!
I've finally posted v1.05 of the Balance Mod for download. There were a few items I needed to resolve with the AI scripts before I could post, which was the main source of the delay.
Note that this version is not save game compatible with previous versions. It will extract to a new folder labeled 'Balance Mod v105+', which will be the default location for future save game compatible versions.
You can grab the download here:
