Imagine there's no Talisman, it isn't hard to do

or even 750.

The 5 facilites are nice ... But one can do with out them fine.

( advanced storage should be 1500 or 2000 )

If you remove the Talisman, IMO that might make it a little more equal, but a different weapon would be nice as well.

I do agree that the Talisman is quite intimidating and I think we should develop a culture that says "Players using Talismans are wusses!"

Seriously though, I think the way it is, the religious tree is under-priced. In fact, I think most of the tech tree 'prices' should be adjusted a little. I used to play it all the time (before it became the tech; now I don't use it at all 'cause it seems quite powerful. I do agree the facilities are almost worth the cost of the tree without the Talisman (but not quite).

OT: AST has been a fav of mine for a while - please don't raise the cost As it is, in AIC, it's something like 4000 points!!!!! ('course it's a big advantage there )
