Why CBM?

Is it to make dom3 a more relaxing casual game?

I ask because it seems like, if someone knows a nation intimately, that then they can use it, and the game is probably fair (it is 23b afterall) without the CBM.

I guess what I'm asking is why and when do you like to use the CBM?

Like this, let's say I like to clam hoard with Atlantis, because it can be hard climb up on land and make war after I take out another underwater nation. So, with the CBM I can no longer clam hoarde, and the other players are no longer concerned bout Atlantis hoarding clams and suddenly emerging to beat them into a pulp...

I say clam hoarding as a time bomb for underwater nations... you have to find a way to go down there and get him...

I remember in dom2 without the CBM clam hoarding was violently fast... They have slowed it tons in the stock version since then. I think that they have thought carefully about how fast clams pay off. Does it make sense to make clams unique in all cases?
