Alright, so what's the deal? How many racial points are we using? I prefer 2000. More diversity, as was mentioned.
One thing I'd like to mention, from my experience of other PBEM games, is that it quickly becomes unfair to most players. The reason is that some people team up very quickly, and share all their techs. The rest of the players have no chance whatsoever.
So, my preference would be to remove technology sharing in the game setup. That way there are no really dominating alliances.
