Re: Religious Talisman - unbalancing or not?

Yes, the talisman is overpowered. However, it does not guarantee a win if you are playing with people who know about how overpowered it is. The "balancing factor" that has emerged amongst experienced players is to gang up against and wipe out anyone who chooses the Religious trait before they get the chance to weild the talisman effectively. So in a way, choosing religious can be more of a liability, which makes for a neat mechanic.

How do you tell when someone has chosen "Religious"? The game is too simple in certain ways. One of them is that it tells you exactly what racial traits a given empire has as soon as you meet them. Stupid.
I hope things like this will be fixed in SE 5.
