Re: Question: Does CBM work well with LlamaServer's MA mod nations (Arga Dis etc.)?
It's very suspicious. I wonder if we can get the author in here to account for his actions.
Meantime, I have some thoughts. While I haven't checked all the ids myself for a while, I do know that they /should/ be distinct for those mods and if they aren't, the author(s) will reorganise the ids if you find conflicts. I can check for you once I get home, but I don't know which versions of the mods are up on llamaserver - I only have the versions which are available in the individual thread for each mod.
The LA nations like Ulm Reborn, Sylvania, Sanguinia etc had CBM versions at one point for two reasons. Firstly because when they were created, CBM was not so commonly used as it is now, so making a version balanced to CBM standards and a version balanced to vanilla standards made sense (I don't believe it does any longer). Secondly because Sanguinia, Teutonia, Sylvania and Kharam Dzu were the work of Zepath done quite some time ago, when another modder updated them with what he considered improved balance, minor fixes and the like, he had to make sure they were distinct in name so as not to confuse people into thinking he was the original author. Since he balanced them to CBM standards because that's what he personally played with, it made sense to change the name in this way.
This modder no longer supports the CBM versions in any way, believing them to be confusing and annoying to update. Instead all his efforts are intended to be 100% compatible with CBM and he maintains his own balance which should work fine with either CBM or vanilla.
