Reply to Advent Origins and other Mythology (and some history too) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The history I posted was copied and pasted from the entry for the Aeon Illuminate on the Supreme Commander Wiki then spliced wit the second contact with the Trade Order mentioned for the Advent in sins. I included a link to the article in the post but changed the color to black so as not to be too obvious. Because the link is folded into text, it didn't show when quoted. I got the games very closely in time, and it struck me how similar the Aeon and the Advent are (psychic c

In terms of ship construction, the TEC probably has a distinct advantage with its relatively cheap ships, faster build times (augmented with Industrial Juggernaut), and lower fleet supply costs (the supply 4 Illuminators take up is equivalent to the supply 6 Javelis frigates take).

Capitalizing on racial advantages in Strategy Sins Forums

Reading the forums, I see a lot of discussion about Advent being overpowered and various schemes for balancing the fleet powers. These posts, however, seem to only offer solutions for adjusting ship powers. I'm curious if anybody has tried to come up with a scheme for balancing the races by capitalizing on each race's advantages. For this post, I will use a term called resource-time.
