Klacon Racial Traits Unbalanced?
Hello! Thanks for the awesome mod.

Are all races supposed to be balanced in the mod? I.e. they can be recreated as a 20-points custom race?

If so, am I missing something or the Klacons are not balanced at all?
Cavernous, 6 points
+25% food, 8 points
+25% prod, 7 points
-15% pollution, 2 points
-50% assimilation, -2 points
Unwavering, 15 points
-25% credits from pop, -8 points
Uncreative, -5 points
+15% command points, 2 points
Large World, 2 points
+25% Ground Combat, 1 point

Grand Total... 30 points?

Or is it that all non-custom races have 30 points and custom races are 20?


Side note... What is the rationale for the Uber planets perks to be valued at 6 points? I like Uber planets perks, but they feel like an handicap in custom races, due to the high points requirement...

Thank you for double checking the math, but it looks like you summed it incorrectly and left out a few perks. First, the sum of the traits you listed is 28, not 30. Second, here are the ones you did not list:
  • Desert homeworld (Subterranean): -4
  • Extended barracks (Subterranean): 1
  • Security +10% (Unification): 1
  • Research -25% (Uncreative): -6
I believe if you check it carefully[www.google.com] you'll find it adds to 20 points total.
