The unbeatable combination is it out there?

"Well I can't disagree until I can consistantly beat them. Up till now my performance agaisnt religious races isn't much better than .500."

I had a fit in my latest Devnull game against the Toltoyan. They were the Last race in my purge, and I didn't realize they were religious. My Talisman-equipped SDs plowed through their outer systems on Strategic Combat against 10-to-1 odds--until I met their new Talisman-equipped SDs. Not a pleasant surprise. They actually destroyed my Last ship before I decided to quit attacking. I only came back because I had better production. Now I'm building sphereworlds in every system, converting all planets to breathable, and creating new planets out of all asteroids.
