Would that make sense to some degree?The multiple handicaps (events, losing election, customized "numbers") come from within play - afterwards, when your race's destiny has been sealed up.Say, for example, a custom race has been defined with a --Minus […]

Hmm what if the negative attributes COST you attribute point, rather then freed them but gave bonus points at the games end.

I wouldn't expect to see this in the base game, but Cari has fixed some bugs relating to negative abilities in TA so it should be more feasible via mods.

Yes, min-maxing is a valid concern. That's why I would propose only one 'tier' of negatives, not several like there are for boni. One tier would be enough to create an interesting racial background and free up some points without giving way to a Space Empires-like min-maxing game.

A lot of games have implemented this and I enjoy the feature but I am a rules munchkin.

This sort of encourages abusive min/maxing where you take as many negatives as possible in areas you had no intention of pursuing in the first place.

Don't ever negotiate? Take as many Diplomatic "handicaps" as possible. It won't make any difference anyway.
