I think Epic Heroes will be the most fun, it takes a blah nation and gives it an extra bit of punch. It will be interesting to see how they morph from early/mid game to mid/late game. I've got GoH and Mother up, so slight advantage there. The western nations are making their moves though, and the water nations are essentially just waiting to attack. If it was me, I wouldn't want to attack me either
Perpetuality is really a tossup, will still be fun and depending on the diplomacy could be very fun.
Mid_unlucky I'll try to shut down, and newbies won't hurt from going AI.
