Wraithlord:
I won't join - not enough time for more games, but few suggestions:
- LA Ermor and R'lyeh in no diplo game is a bad idea, will make the game less fun
- CBM should be a must nowadays
- no game should go over 72h timer, ever, 96h in extreme cases
- 30-50% VPs max for the win, not 11 out of 12

- indie str 9 will make some nations really cry, may be interesting though [but combining that with RAND may be too much]
I can roll you nations if you need that.
