Race characteristics - what's hot... what's not

[bmills]

I am currently experimenting with the "highly religious" thingy, and am surprised that no one has mentioned it. You get some really powerful facilities, most of which exert their effects system-wide. You get facilities which boost population growth, happiness, production, combat, and the nature shrine improves *all* resource values on *all* planets in its system! I have planets with resource Ratings ranging from 150% to 201%.
