Anyone feel like having a custom faction PBEM battle? All submitted factions should balance as between the Gaians/Spartans and the Uni/Hive/Drones for strength.Comment

Wow-- So a size 14 base as soon as you can crawl the necessary foodOriginally posted by Ghidorah
Wow, there's a faction over there with +4 growth and free children's creches and hab complexes per base. I think it's the careful balancing that attracts me most.

What's the faction name? The "I can't keep my pants on"?
I'd be more cynical and name them "Stupidly overpowered faction for people that can't win otherwise"You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

A faction with +4 growth and free creches *could* be balanced. Start with damping their ability to grow - low police rating, lowered hab limits, and/or extra drones. Next, damage their mineral and/or energy flow, with low industry, low econ, low effic, low research, increased research costs, increased hurry costs, negative interest and/or low support. Additionally, you could give them other crippling flaws, such as OFFENSE, 50 or -5 Planet."Cutlery confused Stalin"

True-- Theoretically you could balance any faction ( minus 6 efficiency would be pretty cripplingOriginally posted by Chaos Theory

I just see a faction that can pop boom on turn one as wildly unbalanced. With the free 10 minerals , every new base could be ready to produce its first colony pod two turns after being planted. Only cash and the ability to find tiles with nutrients would be the limitation.
Sure I can "balance" them but it would bea very tough job. How do you balance pretty much unlimited growth? Even offense 50 or -5 Planet would be insufficient IMHO since this faction will get so big, so quickly. You would probably have to damage them on pretty much every other category since otherwise their overwhelming size could be tellingYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Thanks to a bug, such a faction could run Power and benefit as if having +5 Industry. The effects of Industry bottom out at -3, but -7 or below rolls over to +5."Cutlery confused Stalin"

That would be a good exploit for PBEM games
PLAYER 1 - Look- I'm playing an ultra-underpowered faction here! I'm so much better than you.

Wow that would be funny-- It would be even more funny if you had managed to get growth, econ or efficiency benefits to compensate for such a severe "penalty"Originally posted by DarkCloud

I try to tell the AI that, but it doesn't believe me and sticks my powergraph way into the air anyway out of spite. And then it just sulks and sends wave after wave of colony pods directly into the mindworms.Originally posted by DarkCloud
