Based on initial community feedback I would like to amend the proposed changes as follows(I will edit the above post to include these but for easier reference as to what changed I will summarize here):
Avian will remove increased military casualties and replace with lower gains and allow credits to train elites
Dwarf will have elite power increased
Human will remove increased military casualties and replace with +100% rune costs and adjust elite power
Faery will remove lower birth rate and replace with lower income
Orc will remove lower science effectiveness and replace with increase resource losses when attacked and increase military casualties
