Default Re: Defeating the Talisman

Not to belabor the point but I now know someone that has made the comment that as an Economic Powerhouse combined with the talisman he would be undefeatable in any game where he is allowed to get to Economic Powerhouse stage(about a million metals coming in per turn). It appears that the only defense against a Talisman player is to kill him early in the game. The talisman is way too strong. It need to be modified to miss about 10-20% of the time. Or be made very expensive to build/maintain.
