I've never played as Lal, always seemed rather wimpy, but I roll with the Gaians ecotech bonuses. I've done it with Uni as well.
Yeah, I love the Uni's early tech bonus, but Lal's bonus is also felt very early when cities are initially limited to Population 4, but Lal gets 5! Plus, you don't have to worry about angry drones - they're a deliriously happy bunch!
LOVE those tree farms... lots of food, minerals AND energy! Later in the game, the Gains would kick arse though - crazy-powerful mindworms and mega food/min/nrg from fungus... plant it, rather than remove it!
Gad... this game and its addon needs a remake.
