Uhhh... Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there only supposed to
be a couple of farseers _per craftworld_? I think this is the reasoning
behind making farseers so expensive... they just wanted to add some
"flavor", i.e. make the unit expensive because it was supposed to be
_rare_. Why would you buy a farseer anyway? You could buy 5 warlocks
for the same price, and be assured that you would always get the +1
for psychics in cc and firefights.
