I think having a green faction in the game is not a good idea.

It removes green planets from other players plans when they can be quite important to expand.

I'm with Skyswooper here. The issue is not with the particular proposal in the first article (any proposal certainly can be tweaked to be neither crap nor OP), it's with damaging the great idea of planets which require the same effort to colonize for every faction regardless of color. Gaia planets and Gaia Projects help a lot to bypass the "color sandwich" dilemma a player may face in Terra Mystica. Introducing a green faction would devaluate this escape route.

For me, new factions should either be assigned to one of the seven existing faction colors, or introduce something different (like Volcano and Variable Factions did in TM).
