Yes, Jubala, I do understand the difference between CULTURAL modifiers, and other empire characteristices. I was concerned BECAUSE racial points, (shold more properly be called "empire points?"), etc. all feed into one another. Juggling them has become a mini game within a game. So perhaps, me thinks, the problem with cultural modifies MIGHT also overflow into the others. I am glad they do not. One less thing to fix...Thank you for all the work on ascertaining what works and what doesn't. I appreociate it.
