They can still make 4X more income than other LC race, by doing 4X
more camps for the same numbers of prisoners.

They need 25 prisoners per camp instead of 100.

So the build 4X more camps for the same 100K prisoners. (so they still
have 4X more income witch is as it should be).

They have a lot more deaths (more camps more deaths), and it take a
lot longer to make the supply needed for 4000 camps instead of 1000
(for 100K prisoners).

This mean even if you get huge amount of prisoners early (like let say
1M) you need a lot of times to build camps and a big part of the money
from camp, will be to build new factory, pay for the factory to
produce supply, and pay to build new camps.

So we have a more balanced EE, no more instant win if you get a nice
amount of prisoners, you will get the same income as before but it
will take time to reach it high peak.

EE will also need more prisoners arrival due to the increase death
rate.

Wow, another typical knee jerk reaction to a problem that doesn't
really exist because of a few complaints of hypothetical situations.

I think that while the original problem was never as bad as certain
people would make out, this is a double whammy against a race that
isn't played very often and rarely wins.
So they have the 25% bonus which allows them 4x the income (at 4x the
outlay for a race who's growth rate and income levels are laughable).
But to maintain the extra 10% death rate. To get this 25% bonus the
death rate is already higher as the rate is based on the number of
camps. So lets use the magic 100k figure thrown around here and work
this out. The EE has 100k prisoners, at 4000 camps that a death rate
of 31% for there now 12k. Compare that to anyone else with 1000 camps
they get 3k at a whopping death rate of 6%. Now these rates stay the
same because the rate is dependant on the camps and not the people in
them, so while the EE funds all but dry up in 10 turns for a TOTAL
income around 50k, the others get 42k over 30 turns. Now triple that
for labour mines and tell me where the problem is. BTW - I believe a
lizard with 100k colonists would get 43k after 10 turns and 58k after
20 and 63 after 30 turns.
Perhaps the original EE figures where a bit high, but this has created
a bigger problem, the master slaver race is no more it is now barely
average and still has its huge problems. To worry about races with
huge bonus's but also huge weaknesses whilst others have no problem
with either is just silly.

Now I might not have been around as long as some others but wasn't the
EE income increased for a reason in the first place. Maybe no one
ever played them because there ships cost the earth and there income
is rather lame. But while people keep complaining about hypothetical
problems, that in reality don't exist, then we will get no where
fast. But hey maybe they are loosing to a EE player right now and
have there reasons. So if your plan was to ruin the EE, job done.
