            you didnt "nerf" athena as a second factory, you removed it. perhaps it was the best second fac choice whenever you needed specialist units, and maybe it was a bit too good at it, but i cant remember seeing a spectacular amount of athena 2nd fac usage in competetive games, so it probably wasnt that great.

            now, the de facto tech requirement and higher build power means it is likely going to be seen almost exclusively in the late to very late crazy-ffa-style-game, where it is going to be overpowered at rezing things.

            poor choice imo. changing the unit lineup (which is kinda random anyway) could have worked while keeping it in the game as a second factory choice.
