Some hint about early nations to ban to skilled players?

I don't think there's that much you do to stop an experienced player absolutely trouncing an inexperienced one, but Max and VFB's suggestions look pretty good to me. I might lean to Max's, because the inexperienced ones should learn a lot and as that disadvantage declines, their start-game advantage will become progressively less useful.

But yeah, restricting a few nations for the experienced ones might be a good idea as well.
