Re: Do you use CBM?
I find that some of CBM's changes are unthematic and geared towards powergaming.
And the game is sufficiently challenging for me as it is.

I assume you mean in MP, not SP? |

Nope. SP, medium AI.
I don't really go so much for strategy, and I will willingly squander gems and resources just to get a thematic army. That sets me back a bit.
Also, I heard that people who use CBM rape puppies, and I don't want to be associated with that. |

Re: Do you use CBM?
I don't use CBM. That said, I play hotseat multiplayer, and nobody other than me uses much other than the game itself, and possibly glances at the wiki periodically.

@brxbrx
I'm surprised at your answer, and interested. I only play SP, vanilla. Like you I squander a bit and play around, just to have fun/experiment/theme. And I am useless at computer games, not like the experts here! Yet I am up to "Hard" AI now, and never lose --- I don't think I've even ever lost a single castle to the AI. Love the game, but finding the AI lacking (not surprisngly, and no I don't have any time/commitment for MP). Don't do CBM as been told it certainly doesn't help the AI. So, how do your settings/play help make the AI "challenging", I'd actively like to know? (Perhaps a different thread?)

Maybe I'm just worse than you?
Also, I like to play on large maps, like Glory of the Gods, with a bunch of players. And I sometimes make reckless early game decision which results in slow expansion. So I often find myself beating back enemies from all sides with only a few dozen provinces to my name.
