Hiya paradox matey!
Yes it looks so much simpler, I'll try and get this typed up soon and sent off to Alzrius, although I may be a bit busy over the next 4-5 days.
I'm thinking I'll just give version 6 away free, although I'll still have it in Godsend.
What level encounters are you prepping for...and how many PCs?
I have a table going all the way up to Level 100. I have also added a "Cohort" column so it goes
Minion < Cohort < Standard < Elite < Solo
Each step right is equal to two monsters to its immediate left.
So a Cohort is worth 2 minions, an Elite monster is worth 4 Cohorts etc.
e.g. The Level 50 row suggests:
Minion 16
Cohort 25
Standard 33
Elite 50
Solo 67 (round fractions up for Solo's)
Of course preferably v6 CRs rather than v5.

I have one of my parties set to attack a Phasmalich (thanks Alzrius!) probably this weekend, so maybe I can use this to throw in a couple of minions he has waiting to help. The fact that they're going after him because he's casting a ritual to awaken a Ruin of Ages (thanks Philip for another favorite from the Epic Monsters thread!) actually brings in a beast well beyond the Solo level, but really the point of the fight is that they're trying to stop him and ideally shouldn't see the undead city at all.
