Religious Talisman - unbalancing or not?

[PvK]

Yes it's overpowered. The only potent counterbalance is the urgency to destroy religious empires before they can deploy it.

If seekers or fighters were a viable late game option, it wouldn't be so bad. As it is in the late game you use direct fire, and don't gennerally get a high hit rate. That's what makes the Talisman so lethal.

Interesting observation. Though, the way that comes to mind to make fighters viable in late game is to reduce PD accuracy and make fighters harder to hit with direct fire weapons. If Talisman still allowed 100% hits with DF weapons on fighters, they wouldn't be a counter to Talisman at all. You could reduce the types of DF weapons which can target fighters at all, but that would be more work to mod.
