The SemiRand program is fantastic but has never quite received the support from the players that we hoped for. If you find it useful then PLEASE add to it by sending in ideas for provinces and gods so that the "random" part of it has more to select from.

Another really cool change I am seeing by using the CBM mod is watching the arena fights. So much difference! Its not just a smite fest. Many varied tactics and spells are used which is very cool and which I am sure translates to the battlefield as well. I have not watched many battles yet as I am mostly rolling over indies but it will be interesting to see when I come up against the AI opponents.

Thanks Ill take a look at the SemiRand program and see if I can figure it out...

Here is the current army graph:

Thank you. I appreciate your comments on this.
I always considered CBM to be a balancing mod built around player actions and designed for MP games. Not designed around AI. So the comments are helpful. Possibly I will add a version of vsAI games with CBM to my server. (the vsAI games get more play than the CBM games seem to)

There are other mods which have been designed specifically around the improvement of the AI. Some I have agreed with, others not so much. Personally I feel that the best ones are the ones which work with a specific nation. Where someone has put alot of thought into exactly what Mictlan does and doesnt do well as an AI. And another mod which put thought into what Ctis does or doesnt do well as an AI.
