Reply to Yor are Overpowered! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Thus far, I've used the Yor once, and got steamrolled by the Terrans. It seems like military power and techs in this game often ends up secondary to economy, diplomacy, and research. I've been using the Iconian Refuge in my games, and so far my income has almost always exceeded my production capacities. And the enhanced techs I get from my research allow me to stomp any attackers.

I'm running into a weird thing along these lines. My approval rating suddenly dropped to 1%. Nothing I did (building entertainment centers, dropping the tax rate) would raise it, and eventually my Iconian Refuge empire split into the New Iconians. I lost my best planets to the split, and my approval rating was still 1%!
