	New Borg Faction Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Yes, I know there are other Borg factions... and you're all probably tired of them.
I took the existing faction, kudos to its creator, and changed the base graphics (although it's only a modified Hive bases, they still look appropriate), the city graphic and the diplomany graphic.
I changed the rules somewhat so that the Borg are masters at stealing tech while having very little research capability of their own: -4 Research & -1 Econ.
The other thing is that the Borg don't get a research penelty for using Fundamentalism (because Borg doctrine does not include a lack of technology, but an extreme usage of it) and they get extra Talents per base (because of mind control), so Drone riots are few.

I've also added a lot of base names that seem appropriate to the Borg; having only Borg Base #... was really boring and confusing. And changed the dialouge so that the faction leader is Central Negotiation Node of the Borg. This seems more like the Borg than the other versions. Why should the Borg Queen be on this planet? The diplomacy picture is an actual painting and I'm sure you've never seen the Borg like that.

If anyone is interested in downloading it, I'll post it.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Okay, here's that Borg faction. I have another picture to use for the City view, but I liked this one best of the two. Please give me feedback.
