New races-maintenance reduction

[Egregius]

Question: is there any new race that doesn't involve maintenance reduction, or a massive research bonus? At least in the TDM-modpack almost all new races and even some of the older ones are given maintenance reduction, non-existant trade, and heaps have enhanced research.

I know everyone wants their race to be the scary overpowering race everybody fears, but be creative will ya?
