[Triumvir Emphy]

Start a game with minimal bonus and after the game starts take control of the AI and check his stats.
next start a game with 5000 points and do the same, there is no difference.

I have it quite a bit, when i start a pbem invariably i have to restart because someone forgot to assign points in their emp, that is why i started checking the ai in the first place,....

once you assign points to him in a fair manner he gets quit a boost,... increases in research/mining and simple techs like advanced storage techs seem to work best.
