Ah I didn't know a penalty was already implemented, cause the only time i got no electricity was early on in the maps. And i didn't notice it affecting the enemy cause i made them empty their starting lake and denied their expansions, so at the end they had no funds.
On abother note i briefly noticed red had more hp on their infrantry , so isee you have made some faction duffrences already. Looking forward to playing as the other sides as well.
