Yes you cannot forget that alot of the weapons are balanced not just by construction cost and size, but also by research cost. If you do not include research cost as part of your limit, then there are certain combinations that are just very difficult to beat.

The idea is interesting but since it removes the element of empire buildup, it can lead to abuse.

for example, how about religious+psychic race ?
comp virus + allegiance converter + religious tallisman.

two things.
First, god damn me, i forgot it is all in GOLD. Count me out.

second, the multi-racial teching should not be allowed, meaning i can not choose two racial technologies. There should be strict rules explaining what i can and what i can not do. FOr example, the first idea that comes to mind is that races that choose a racial technology trait are not allowed to pick any other racial trait, while those who do not can pick up to.... say 2.
