Default Number of points at beginning

Another noobish question. Which do you prefer - 2000, 3000, or 5000? Is the game any better/worse/different when the races are all a bit overpowered with 5000 points to allocate? Any advantage to the player or the AI? I've been playing all my games with only 2000 so far. I like to have some obvious disadvantages to my race, and not just be a juggernaut.

Dobian, I tend to agree with you. In order to give the AI some 'ummpphhh', I will tend to play with starting racial points at 5000, but only take 2000 myself. Can make the game more interesting.

Dobian, I agree with GT. I play the same as well, 5000 points and 2000 for myself. It does make for a better more challenging game. IMHO

I set my races up for all three, but mostly play with 5000.
