We decided to remove the tech cap by establishing some events hundreds of years after Chaos Crisis, where the supposed maximum level of technology would have been achieved. Part of the reason was upcoming real world technology that we did not think about when first creating our empires. Basically, what we could have in the next few decades would be far more advanced than any civilization on GC had before the change.

As for the Harbingers themselves, they were changed to be pleasure seekers. Rather than maintaining dominance over everyone, they instead do whatever they think is most entertaining. Ultimately, this proves to be a major plot point later on when the Harbingers begin to disagree with one another over the outcome of the Anathema invasion.
