I think an interesting aspect of many guides is not necessarily the specifics of what spells or units to use. One of the most helpful things is gaining an understanding of how to look at the huge list of stuff available to a particular nation and identify the strengths and shore up its weaknesses.

I know there have been plenty of cases where something someone has mentioned in a guide has made me realize that a similar tactic can be used with a completely different nation. I think if you're able to get that from a guide, it doesn't really matter if it's written based on CBM or the normal game, it's always going to be useful.
