Give psych a unique bonus to be able to avoid damage or inflict critial damage.īasicly make there combat more rng focus(as to stay with the them of power at a risk/cost).Īble to one shot titans or do scratch damage to things that you could one shot.Īnd make it so that genetic upgrade's are vastly superior to the synth bonuses.įor example: Immortal trait(without the 1% chance of dying), Hyper intelegence (50-100% research increase) Insane strenght(50-100% mineral and army damage increase) Right now all covements are bad and the covement of desire is the only one barely worth getting. My suggestion for fixing this imbalance is:īuff the shroud bonus so there accauly worth the risk. Synth are immortal so you only need to buy a leader once's. There pretty much a machine empire without the growth penalty. In fact i go so far and claim the Fanatic materialist technocracy mechanist is brokenly overpowered.ĭouble pop growth as mechanist starts with robots.ġ0% increase research, 25% less robot upkeep.Īdd to this materalist only edict that adds an other 10%, 10% for the discovery traditon and 10% for Technological Ascendancy.Īdd to this the many ways to increase research speed and you end up with synth before 2300. This would hopefully make biologically-ascended empires more competitive when it comes to pop growth. Would also like to see roboticist jobs from t3 capital (system capital complex) nerfed from 3 robo jobs down to 2.Īt the same time, would love to see Cloning Vats increase pop growth by +50%. Not sure about the numbers on that, but i recall assimilators getting a nerf to bio growth in a previous patch. Or at the very least, bio pop growth would be reduced to match the bio growth rate of driven assimilators. Personally, I'd like to see synthetic empires get a bio pop growth penalty of -50%. So I'm curious: does anyone else think synthetic ascension should be toned down? should the other ascensions be buffed to match it? or is everything balanced and should be left as is? Sure, you get a diplomatic penalty from other empires and spiritualist fallen empires will humiliate you every couple decades, but that's nothing compared to getting 15-20 pop growth a month with synths getting a +20% output boost *before* you even modify those synths. hell, they grow even faster than biologically ascended empires whose main selling point is massive pop growth.

Not only do they get an innate +20% boost to all resource output (10% from synthetics tech, 10% from synthetic evolution ascension perk) but they also get boosted pop growth from roboticist jobs along with regular bio growth. Tbh, going synthetic is hands-down the most effective of them all.
