Thanks! How would I get the Son of Niefel to stop spawning wolves? He is not in CBM mod but in game.

You would select his monster number, #clearspec, then add back in all of his other abilities (like cold res, etc).

Also note the Vampire Queen, Ghost King, and Prince of Death spawn a few troops. Not to mention a bunch of summons with spawn.

Thanks Q! Is there a list somewhere of all the units that spawn stuff?

What's the big deal with a handful of freespawn? None of them make them in sufficient quantity to really matter.

Mother of Lions and Lord of the Gates both freespawn. I'm sure there are more.

Depending on the version of cbm, the spawn by the Lord of the Gates is *not* trivial.

Im trying to balance out the AI's for my single player games. All of the nations that have pretenders and units that spawn such as Lord of the Gates for Ermor just steam roll over all of the other nations.

It would not be a big deal if it were just a few free spawn but unfortunately a lot of these units begin to pile them up in droves after the game gets going.

Another example if you get two Jotun heroes as Niefel and you are cranking out 4 free hirdmen a turn. No AI nation can handle that unfortunately.

Lots of other examples like this. Ctis, Sauromatia, Ulm, among others...

I began to notice this pattern when the same nations were strongest in every single game I played.
