I've tested out the Hoburg mod and it is overpowered. You get freespawns of crossbow troops with 17 def, 15 prot, 12 morale, 14 MR. And you can recruit 2 res cavalry with lances, and cheap heavy cav, and sacred giants...
There's a Hoburg mod in MA that looks more balanced.

If anybody knows how to move it to LA I can use it instead.
