Damn you snacktime! I am only computing a one in 237 chance of victory for myself, how do you rate so high?

Yeah my odds were wildly optimistic especially because I am quite sure I don't know all of the ways CBM 1.92 has changed vanilla so I look forward to planning a research path that leads to nowhere.

Speaking of which, is there any single document that explains the CBM changes vs. vanilla? As far as I can tell, every changelog for CBM is just listing changes from the previous CBM, but since I've been out of the loop for a while that doesn't help much especially since I find the hard-copy manual still pretty useful.

Then again maybe you would rather roll the Utgardian noob than provide info!

If you install EDM 1.21 separately and enable it (as opposed to the version that comes with CBM 1.92), it comes with a special testing feature. Start up a new game in the early age, and at the bottom of the nation selection list you'll find "Endgame Diversity Mod, testing nation". If you select this as your nation, you'll have access to every single summon available in EDM as recruitable commanders for 1g & 1 resource. This should allow you to see what they can do, at least, if not what they're actually capable of in battle. Hope this helps.

Let's try to have our pretenders submitted by Wednesday. Still waiting on Whollaborg, Bat/man, shard, and, well... me. Does this sound reasonable?
