Don't be stingy with health. The fun of this game is watching the opponents evolve. Keeping your health to stay alive is more of a chore, and isn't that fun IMO.
Giving players 100% of their health back will allow them to give more attention to the interesting aspect of the game, and less attention to the annoying chore of staying alive.
And personally, it was my assumption that I would recover my health every round, just like the AIs do. It took me a few rounds to realize that was not the case.
