PvK Balance Mod
From SEWiki
A mod for SE4 by PvK.
PvK Balance mod changes the point costs when an empire is created, to be more fairly balanced between the available choices. It makes no other changes to the basic game.
The effect on empire design, and on the competitiveness of newly-designed empires, should be fairly large, however. Choices which were considered "the best" or "not worth the points" should now be more or less at the right value. This should mean that many more empire designs will be competitive with others, assuming their strengths are played well against opponents' weaknesses.
Due to the well-thought out changes and amount of community discussion that went into the mod, it is widely regarded as a baseline to be used in other mods.
