I agree with most of your post, and on this point precisely. But as a matter of fact, removing gem gens or hammers is not what I call modest modding .

BTW, I tend to avoid CBM since these features have been removed. The point is that all MP games are using CBM anyway, so I stepped to 1.6. And stopped MPs after that point.

I also happily admit that there are indeed pretenders who need to be balanced, and nations, and spells. I just stopped following to CBM when re-balancing began to mean rewriting. CBM 1.5 is IMHO the best version so far and I now SP with this mod.

Anyway, I'll give a try to 1.9+ one day or another. Just for sake of curiosity, you know
