Since this thread has been brought back to the forefront, I thought I'd point out that I've made some CBM versions of popular LA nation mods.

More are on the way too. I'm also considering making a modified version of CBM that addresses some stuff that bothers me (improving or reducing the cost of more national troops that are 'useless' among other changes). It would also probably incorporate rejuvenation for all pretenders, the strength based slingmod and maybe some bits from other mods.
