Actually go a step further, don't pick any nations that have access to death mages. Death mages tend to summon load and loads of undead/eth troops. If your only dealing with a pool of 6-7 nations, why include them?

Also I'm sure this has been mentioned, but don't pick races that have "Death" themes to fight against.

Ulm (Black forest)
Pangea (Carrion Woods)
Ermor (Cuz they are Ermor)

I think I am forgetting one.

As Olive said, including the Water races can be frustrating because its very hard to defend entire coastlines, and even harder to hit them back as certian nations.
