Default Re: Conceptual Balance Mod (and readme file) 1.00

I looked in the readme and there's a massive and detailed list of every single change,.. yes,.. which is very useful I'm sure. But what would be even more useful for people who haven't been part of the CBM debate would be a summary of the major sweeping changes and a brief rationale for them.

For example, "Indy commanders have all had their prices raised. This is to encourage use of national commanders" or "The resource costs of a great many types of weapon and armor have been increased making resources and castles more important generally" or whatever (I haven't played the mod yet so I don't know, that's just an example). If there was a summary of the broad changes like that it would certainly help people out. It would also help nation makers balance their mods to fit with CBM (as would a rough guide of balance - such as generally light infantry cost 8, heavies cost 10, elite humans 15 etc, base commanders cost 30 not 40, or whatever).

I just think it would be very useful to know the philosophy behind it all (a little more than just "to improve balance") as well as the specifics.
