    The second faction looks pretty balanced as is.

    As for the first, however... how could any faction compete with them at the beginning? Every faction remotely close to them in proximity would fall without even putting up a fight. Sorta like the Spartans on steroids.

      The factions seem more or less balanced but the free command center AND the morale bonus AND the attack defense bonus seems very extreme in the early game- I mean 2 recon rovers from this faction and you are dead. Give this faction a big juicy -2 econ or a significant growth penalty, something that affects early game enough to slow this faction down.

        I'd just like to point out that those 'free' command centers aren't exactly free. You still have to pay the upkeep. And it can really hurt your econ at the begining of the game.

        That, plus the -2 ECON, would KILL this faction! The upkeep is about -2 ECON as is.

        Realizes that no one probably remembers that event.

          < life via Asian philosophy>>

          Just a note, this doesn't have to apply merely 'Christian' factions, I could see this apply to any government that religiously motivated.

          Personally, this does sound a bit like a fundamentalist government.
