We are not at the point of adding Ancients to the mod yet, but the idea that they cannot colonize in the B5 timeline has been retained. If there is an Ancients mod later on, then obviously this will have to be relaxed.

It is a pity that races cannot have different "tons per pop" factor, as this would simply allow us to make the Vorlon and Shadow pops too big to move, and only their minion races would be able to move pops.

The "ground forces" of both the Shadows and Vorlons will represent minion race troops, not actual Shadows and Vorlons. Both were nearly immortal and so would not risk themselves in such combat (and in fact the Shadows didn't even risk themselves in ship combat, though it appears the Vorlons did man their ships).
