Eh, HP gets crushed by HG in an AccBBS game.

This is more of a level playing field than any real "advantage".

Also, BET means that Nubians are double-price, which is a pain for the HP tech-lovers.

And HP aren't the most advantaged by that setup anyway.

Oh, and regarding the "beginner" thing, non-AccBBS does give a bit more breathing room to scout and such, while disadvantaging the -f rush tactics that can leave one rapidly ruined.
