Maybe this suggestion is too flat, but how about giving ordoss a mid-game unit that steals promotions from other units defeated in battle. (like the balseraph mimics in FFH) Or maybe just have all of their units have a [steal tech] promotion that would be replaced by a random promotion from the defeated unit. I think that this would be much more fun than simply getting beakers from victories.
I've only recently started playing this mod and i have to say i had a lot of fun! Great job! I've played through the game twice as the Tleilax (first time the fremen won a terraforming victory while i wasn't paying attention to them ) and i'm very eager to try the other factions.
P.S.: I think that the Tleilaxu cloning mechanic is very very very fun!

I've done some more reading in the forum and i saw that you considered the mimic mechanic for the tleilax. Considering that the Ordos are a non-canon house and that basically they have nothing interesting of their own or nothing that defines them as a power in the Dune world anyway, it would be interesting to let them 'borrow' things from other houses, thus making the 'mimic' mechanic make more sense for them. (than the tleilax for example, as i have discovered that you considered to use this mechanic for them) The deviators also come to mind. Also it might be interesting for them to have a 'bogus' resourse that could be traded to the AI for something useful, as in the Dune RTSs, where they rely heavily on ixian and tleilax technology with which they use to persuade the sardaukar to join their cause.
Anyway, good luck with further development, i'm looking forward to the next patches!
