Imo the solar system map is getting a bit too small for all the races in the game (69/7=9.8), it would be nice to have, say, an 80-100 province map to play on, preferably with a higher proportion of planet provinces as compared to space, to make it slightly easier for the weak space races to perform well.

Also, Jomon isn't necessarily great at defeating independants, but being by far the most powerful race in space gives them a huge advantage over most people. Plus the power of their oni is not to be underestimated against 10hp units.
