Yes, I know what you are talking about. And actually, I did someting like that. But I can work around it without too much trouble. My race is very adaptable. It's not worth restarting over. Really.

As far as it having an impact on the game, don't worry about it. I am quite sure that I will make mistakes in the game that have more impact on the outcome then what size HW I had. Oh, I don't know, like forgetting to use my first turn research, or something like that. Not saying I did that, but I could do something that stupid.
