Greetings!
I've posted v1.06 of the Balance Mod. Not too many changes in terms of data files, but lots of AI improvements including management of mixed populations, scrapping facilities to add modifier facilities, and lots of little changes to the AI's ministers in general. You'll have to start a new game if you want the AI to function properly with the new ministers.

I've included instructions in the readme.txt for players to incorporate the latest versions of FQM that require the Multimedia Pack.
There's also an updated tech chart for v1.06 on the Balance Mod page.
