The Viking faction grew up for decades in the extreme cold of scandinavian nuclear winter. I think they should have a lower minimum temperature, or maybe in the long run they should prefer to colonize colder planets/moons rather than hot ones, or maybe create new species which can live in colder climates. Or all three of this, just for the sake of differentiating the factions a little more. Furthermore the vikings were historically great warriors but also great colonizers and explorers
I get the feeling that Steve didn't increase the HW resources to deal with the fact that there are five empires rather than one, and we're going to see the consequences of that.More fun that way.
Vendarite's main purpose is fighters, but it's also used in construction factories.

IIRC Gallicite is engines, including missile engines. A gallicite crunch is probably third behind duranium and corundium in terms of how crippling it is, IMHO.
Vendarite is construction factories and maybe a few miscellaneous things IIRC? Not nearly as big a deal.
Looking at the newly posted shots of one of the house's mineral situation they've got a massive Vendarite and Gallicite crunches incoming.
Which could be worse, Gallicite is IIRC a missile only mineral, but Vendarite also has infrastructure uses.
Given that in context, both in universe and with us reading the AAR, there is no possibility of anyone getting confused and thinking that his TN ground units are using WW2 tech, I suspect there is not actually a problem at all.If you see a unit named "Bf-109" do you first imagine it being a jetfighter or the german prop fighter from the WW2? Just saying.

Ever since the picture was posted I've just been imagining it as a half-hovercraft. Two wheels on the front and the rear floats thanks to trans-newtonian magic. It looks ridiculous.That reminds me of the hovertanks in the 2300 AD. Which always struck me as slightly ridiculous, because wouldn't the hover portion of the tank be extremely vulnerable, far more so than tracks?
