I won't presume to take a number, but I must say, I do enjoy hearing about the escapades of KOTH.
Have any thought of devising a sensible handicapping system?
Say that players of a certain 'stature' when playing against the lesser beings, are required to use certain ministers to run their empire.
How about a handicap where you have to choose twelve technologies in advance, and you cannot change their order, or add new ones, until ALL of them have been researched.
How about creating a bunch of different Empires, then have the players pick at random from one of say... ten or twelve (the grab bag method).
How about no extra storage other than what you start with? (not sure if this is really an issue though since I've never played the KOTH game)
Just some ideas.
