Thats kindof my take on the whole game. I think the wide variety lends itself to allowing everyone to play in their own style. Rather than try to fit their playing style into a slot in order to win. There is that at the beginning which generates alot of "this nation sucks" and "this nation is everyones first choice, right?" type of comments. By the time they try each nation really well they tend to slide into one nation and setup thinking that everyone else has surely come to the same conclusions.
Big surprise in their first multiplayer game to find out that everyone DID decide on one nation/strategy as being absolutely the best over all the others. They just didnt decide on the same ones. I LOVE this game!
