I only Lasted for one game for two reasons, one because my project was nearing release and I didn't have a lot of time, but also because of #2 above. This was the first, and probably Last, two player game of SEIV I've played. SEIV seems to lose a lot when there aren't multiple players to add intrigue to the game.

EDIT: No offense to my opponent, Ragnarok is a great person to play with/against

Which leads to my $.02 worth of suggestion:
Maybe have games of 5-10 people and award them points based on finishing position. Then keep track of standings based on a player's total points divided by how many games that person has finished. That way faster players can move forward without unduly disadvantaging the slower players. I think I just made up a word. Anyway, that's my suggestion. Cheers!

Games with more than two people have their problems too. It is very hard to find 10 people that will stick with a game from start to finish. And once a person has the pleasure of being a replacement, they seldom come back for more.
