I guess that was what I was asking. was what is the most common racial point choice, the only other things that might affect a stragey (to the level i am thinking about) is tech cost.

I want to get more familiar with basic game strats, but OTOH I am anxious to get into PBW games. And sometimes a question is easier than a month of game play testing.

I know with SMAC, PBEM was fantastic. SP was still fun as one could play other "challange types" like the One City Challange (in which I Transcended playing Miriam), but vs humans is quite a different story. I know that much about the differences between MP and SP.
