Tips on believer balancing:
In the believer file:
Change the research-- to research- and eliminate the Support+.
Then change the Social Pysch tech to 'Secrets of the Human Brain'. This puts the Believers on the same basis as the Hive - research disadvantages, but with a good starting tech and the ability to perform some inital social engineering (they get the 'Fundamentalism' choice).
I know, it messes up the game a little in that the first 'Secrets' is always taken by the Believers. But it does at least make them playable, as it gives an inital boost to their otherwise pathetic research ability.
[To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't throw the balancing of the game off. But I haven't played the Believers enough to properly find out.]

Come to think of it, has anyone else noticed how much the orange outline of the Believer's logo looks like the hood of Kenny's (South Park) jacket.
Maybe they're supposed to die halfway through each game .
