Stopped reading almost right away. Boring.

Try this on for size:

Dwarf
Remove free and 1/2 time build
Allow speedbuilding
Generates buildcreds on a per tick per acre basis
Remove +BE%
+50% generation of flatrate buildings

[LuckySports]

There is no balance in there. Shaking things up is great, but kind of defeats the point if all attackers are running Troll/Vampire and gaining more troops than they lose. and with -50% damage from instant spells/thief ops, combined with a chunk of WT and some science, you can't even NS them to any effect.

I'd say start again from scratch and then go through and combine the race/pers to see if any stand out as broken.

[Kido]

Basically no-one would want to play TM under these changes. Dwarf 8/8 with +15% military sci, add in Warrior's bonuses and they could double tap TMs of the same size, without even taking into account effects from buildings.
