Better Independents (linked from my sig) has some conflicts with CBM (namely the indies part) but does work with the CBM 1.6 Piecemeal edition if you leave the indies bit out.

The way it helps the AI is upping the costs of crappier indies so high you can't buy them, which forces the AI to use only good quality indies and far more national troops. Makes for a tougher and less monotonous AI.
