Yay, I agree. Just had the proof of that in one of my recent MP games... Took Misf-2 with EA Agartha without really thinking.
The necessity of big, slow armies on the fronts (experimental strategy) and the poor PD made the rest. 4 barbarian attacks (one to the capitol, putting it on siege and stopping the recruitment for one turn) and the capitol lab burning, all in 2 crucial turns. My enemy was doing well, but I had still nice hopes (he was sending out far more units than me but I had won all the major battles till the moment). I could just go AI.
Definitively not free points, something to consider with attention.
