[Skulky]

Just as some say organics is unbalanced, so others think so of talisman. taken out of context, yes they are, especially the talisman. However, you have to realize that the Organic weapons are meant for the early game. They are really powerful there, and then lose some of their potency later on.

The inverse is true for the religious. In the early game the religious tech is pretty much useless. It is expensive to research in the talisman, and if you concentrate on it exclusively then you will have no weapons to use it with or hull sizes big enough for it to be economical. If you see a religious player go for them early, if they hold on for the end game they will surely triumph in equal odds situations.
