I've been playing this mod for a little while now and IMHO, this is hands down the single biggest balance issue CE has -


12X64mm charge cartridges

It's not that it's too lethal. It's not that the centipedes throw too much of it down range.

The problem is that there is simply too much of it and that it's too valuable. I have been spending it like water on every passing fancy. I have used it to just outright buy full good will with my neighbors. I have traded as much as I can for for every scrap of silver and gold the merchants are carrying. I have dumped so much 12X64mm on the market that, at this point it has almost surely replaced the global currency.

And you know what? After all of that, I *still* have, quite literally, 6 metric tons of the stuff sitting on palettes. Over a hundred thousand rounds, valued at $1.26 each. A good seventh of my total wealth value is in the form of 12X64mm. Despite hording it like a dragon, I haven't even used silver in *years* and I only have 38k silver.

I would say, for a start, reduce the amount of ammo centipedes are carrying by half. Either they wipe you out or you kill them long before they manage to blow their whole load anyways. Then, reduce the sale value of that ammo by like half again.


Of course, this is just one man's opinion.
