I'm relatively new to Dominions 3 and I notice the CBM mod is very popular for PBEM games.
There seem to be a hell of a lot of changes from Dominions 3 vanilla; is Dominions 3 vanilla badly balanced then, or do players just like to play with a different setup at times? Some changes seem rather arbitrary.

I've just been looking at a few of the changes and they really turn things upside-down: Dwarven Hammer now Construct 8(!) ... heck, the game could be nearly over before people get a discount on forging.

Also, I noticed some very powerful weapons available at low Construct levels.
