That's a frankly ridiculous notion. If every nation was supposed to be able to use the exact same things, then they might as well have the same units too.
A nation that can't tale Death 3 can take some other negative scale at 3 and it will hamper them less. Anyone who takes death scales deserves everything evil and bad that comes from it. I only play large maps and long games anyway, and death 3 in those tends to be just a protracted suicide.
There is also the matter that some nations just suit some people's play style far better than others. I get fairly good results with Ulm, Abysia and a couple of others and I absolutely, positively suck when playing some others because they don't fit me or I don't fit them.

I'll have to disagree with you then. Though if I recall you're the one who plays the crazy Faerun sized games? In which case, I suppose then I'll go growth over death. But those super huge games rarely finds players that can hold that attention span from my experience. In more modestly sized games decided around turn 80-100, I just don't find the death scale holding me back that much. (unless I have old age mages of course)
Also I'm not sure I get the point of your first statement. How does "all nations should be able to get away with same scales" factor into "all nations might as well have same units"?
