imho treating HW as a "King piece" has also downsides like:

it leaves a lot up to a chance/luck. one successfull (hidden/cloacked/wormhole accelerated/etc.) attack on enemy's HW and voila - u have a whole nation at your command! nice, of course. just imagine everybody else cursing about u doubling ur resources in 1 turn! Wink

also, makes backstabbing a lot easier and a lot more profitable endeavour. Sad

imho needing to reduce the opponent to a certain point balances it a little more. even if he drops, u still need to get him small before u may take over his race. that ensures that u not get too much of a boost in a single turn.

also, imho MM is doable. (as long as it's < large/normal). ofc, it _can_ increase MM substantially. OTOH, u don't have to rebuilt the _whole_ empire. sometimes simple production of some special ships might be an appealing extra point. (MML, or Robber Baron, IT gates, or mb simply penscans?)

just my imho.

regards,
strannik
