Editting the Red Syndicate

[Larklight]

Firstly, appologies if this is the wrong place.
I've been doing a few small edits to the BtS Final Fronteir mod, to try to increase the role of trade; I added a bonus trade route to simple economy and to the techs domestic developement and commerce theory. Unfortunitly, these made the Red Syndicate even more powerful, as they get +1 initially, and +1 , +1 per trade route.

The Question
Does anyone know how I could remove their +1 ? I couldn't find it in the xml, thouh I am new to this.

Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions. Trade loves moderation, delights in compromise, and is most careful to avoid anger. It is patient, supple, and insinuating, only resorting to extreme measures in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one another and gives them a high idea of their personal importance: it leads them to want to manage their own affairs and teaches them to succeed therein. Hence it makes them inclined to liberty but disinclined to revolution.--Alexis de Tocqueville
