My small advice would be : play what maximize fun for you !

-You like undead movies, always live at night, and know the difference beetween skeletons, zombies, ghouls and other flesh eating critters ? The Undead Army of Ermor Ashen Empire in LA age wants you !

-You are rather fan of Conan and Szwarzy ? Go and try EA Ulm

-If you have read all Lovecraft and wants to travel on a shantak, MA R'Lyeh is for you.

-If yo are in trolls, vakyries and mighty giants and if you prefer snow to sea and sun you should try one of the great northern nations in any era.

-If you like hisory of Caesars try EA Ermor, if you find than nothings is better than a mighty hoplite unit go for Acroscephale, if yo write samurai novels try LA Jomon,... etc.. etc..

Go for fun, maybe you will fail in your first games but loosing is fun too. At least IMO.
