imo AR needs a weakness. Mineral fountain is very powerful late game.

AR is stronger in non Acc-BBS games

And HE needs its weakness.
HE is stronger in smaller games. Wink

Mineral fountain could be nerfed by using a diminishing returns formula for remote mining - say, a logarithmic progression instead of linear, so each additional mining bot per planet is slightly less useful.

On a side note, perhaps ARM should slow down mineral depletion from remote mining. That would be nice.

HE's weaknesses are more than just lack of stargates - combine that with slow shipbuilding per planet and it takes them a long time to get fleets to the front. Also, their planets are really vulnerable to popdrop before the defenses are up. I've noticed that it's difficult to make a HE with a high growth rate that can manage to export colonists by 30% capacity. Higher growth rates end up being a waste of points and in contradiction to the name they simply can't expand very quickly, compared to, say, IS. Smile
