The Lord's Believers Faction
The Lord's Believers is one of seven SMAC Factions in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC). Thanks to their 2-point Support bonus and 25% attacking bonus, the Lord's Believers have access to the best combat units in the game.
All else being equal, remember that TLB SMAC Units are stronger than rival units because TLB gets +25% attack bonus (Belief of fanatics) that no rival can make up for, ever. The +2 Support also means Four Free Units per base, which is huge.
Due to their two-point penalty to Research, Believers should go on the offensive in the early game. That means building an army to conquer other factions as well as assembling Probe Teams to steal technology from other factions.

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil. -- Sister Miriam Godwinson, "The Blessed Struggle".
