In the system I want, you make one handicap like "50% penalty on
research". This can be assigned to any player, human and AI. It would work
great for making AI players worse off, and it could make games against
pille more enjoyable, too... ;)

Since we don't have such an ideal system, the handicap proposed is fine
with me. I don't think it should be stopped on ideological grounds either.
We'll make it fun now, correct later.
