A community-driven complete overhaul to bring balance and choice to the new world of Beyond Earth

Details, Change Log and Discussion[forums.civfanatics.com][/b]

EXAMPLES OF CHANGES:

• TRADE - Less Trade Routes, and heavily nerfed Internal Trade Routes
  
• SPONSORS - Changes to Sponsor abilities that are both more balanced and interesting
  
• STATIONS - Start further away to stop from getting in the way of city placement
  
• AFFINITIES - Affinities are more balanced and level up faster early-on, then slower late-game
  
• AI - Improved Tactical and Alien AI for a greater challenge in combat
  
• LOADS MORE!

Beyond Balance (or the cute 'BeBa' for short) is a complete overhaul of Beyond Earth in an attempt to bring balance and varied choices to the player. It's a project in the same vein as Thalassicus' communitas, and like communitas, it's starting small. Right now, only a handful of changes have been made to fix glaring errors in balance. All changes have been made based off of comments on the CivFanatics forum, various Lets Plays, and my own experiences. Importantly, all changes are up for discussion, alteration or deletion. I believe that a modder should try his or her very best to not get attached to any changes, and so if the vast majority of the userbase feels a change is shoddy, it'll go, end of story.

The goals of this patch, in no particular order, are:

• BALANCE - Creating a game where no single playstyle or system is vastly superior to its alternatives.
  
• CHOICE - Giving the player a wide option of pathways to follow, creating a unique game each playthrough.
  
• FUN - Well, duh. It's a game, after all!

This mod, like any other successful balance patch, will be a collaborative effort, and any and all suggestions are welcome! I'll be keeping an eye to the Civ Fanatics forums for complaints about either Beyond Earth or this mod in particular, so please do complain away!
