Ok i have creeated some custom faction and i would like some help with balancing them so here they are
the centauri terraforming corporation
President John Ferris
+2 efficiency (society of civil engineers)
-3 morale (i'm an engineer not a soldier!)
terraform bonus cost half to raise lower terrain
start game with four formers (our bulldozer are ready to go)
can exceed hab complex population limit by 2
Earth Expeditionary Forces (EEF)
General Samus Aryn
+2 Industry (superior manufactoring techniques)
+1 economy (trade routes to earth)
-3 Planet (industrial expansion at all cost)
-2 Growth (reinforcements come from earth)
Free ENERGY BANK at every base
Immune to negative morale from wealth value
can't use green economics
so how overpower/under powered are they?
all thoughts appreciated

The the centauri terraforming corporation is pretty overpowered, while the EEF is probably a little weak.

i made a change to the EEF they now no longer have an energy bank instead everybase come with a free recycling tank
and you say the centauri terraforming corporation is overpowered? what do i need to do to make them ore balanced? lower their efficency? take away the hab complex bonus? what?
thnxz for the responce

oh yeah and i forgot to mention it but the centauri terraforming corporation can't use fundamentalism

I actually think you should take out the 4 formers and maybe take out the hab complex thing. Have you play-tested these factions?

No, keep the formers, lose the complex. The -morale is pretty bad. A Plasma Sentinel could win against a Missle Rover with that much negative.
