Too conservative, perhaps. Small changes won't work, and any small
change that brings more power to largepox strategies won't be
considered as small by anybody.

IMHO there's no point in tweaking the rules, as they are simply
broken; a complete and thorough redesing will be needed to achieve
balance. One way to do this would be through increasing costs of units
and making them dependant on buildings, so an ICS-er could build lots
of small units which would be easly blown away by one powerful unit of
a largepoxer. I also think that a rethink of trade/science system would
be exceptionally welcome, but I have no ideas how it could look.
