I've done a few tests with this, and they still get tech too fast(Faster than the University in one game) But what do you guys think?

Ditch the colony pod.

change the can't use from Thought Control to Knowledge. Thought Control doesn't come until late enough in the game to make it a hindrance at all, and can't use knowledge is consistant with you research penalty.

Should I get rid of the colony pod and change the restriction, or just chang the restriction..?

Well, they should certainly not be able to use power, because this gets rid of their only real penalty. And having an extra colony pod to start is too powerful. Ditch them both, and the faction is OK.

Sorry, I meant they shouldn't be able to use KNOWLEDGE.

Question: How are they researching faster than University with -2 Research?
Scotty1234 posted 05-07-99 04:15 PM ET
I dunno how they got the tech so fast...they just did.
Any other suggestions?

When you tested them did you play 'em or watched to comp play? Human researches easily faster than Univercity on a easier level.
