Modifing factions

[Doug325]

I was thinking of modifying the factions in SMAC. How about this?

Believers : Free Rec Commons each base (Religious group less likely to have drones)
(Is there a way to have a faction have fewer drones?)

Hive : Give them Immunity :Efficency (The patches do this)

Gaians : Change Fungus nutriants from 1 to 2
and/or Fungus energy from 0 to 1

Morgans : Change pop limit from 4 to 5
(Getting Ascetic Virtues will make Morgans even with everyone else - except PKs)

The others : Extra scout & colony pod
(To compansate for other factions getting improvements)

None of those changes seem unreasonable. It might be a good idea to 'power up' the SMAC factions so they can compete with the new guys.


BTW, in SMACX, the speical ability "NODRONE, x" reduces drones by x in all cities. I would guess negative numbers make more drones, but I don't know.
