Summary0016009: Betrayal mode Balance: Resources captured from enemy worlds
DescriptionSince betrayal mode balance pivots on available resources, capturing a world can give you a massive boost in armada strength and lower the difficulty significantly.

Perhaps some of the resource stockpile on enemy worlds could be lost on ownership change to hydral to represent a scorched-earth tactic. (With % destroyed or maximum resources captured being difficulty-dependent. No cap on easy, very low cap on harder difficulties).

(Based on the feedback from [b]nas1m[/b] in the thread: Just won my first Betrayal game... and Betrayal mode feedback)

Thanks!

* Whenever a planet changes hands between races, all of the resources stored on that planet are depleted to just 10% of their former values.
** This has a big impact on Betrayal mode balance when you're capturing planets, but it also has an impact on other races in all modes.
** Generally speaking, since races build up resources by a lot and then spend in big lumps, giving the player incentives to wait and watch is a really bad thing in Betrayal mode. Not that people were doing that (yet), but when they lucked into big stores of the right resource that was bad enough.
