Thoughts so far
Well, have been playing for a couple of weeks now, SP only. Messing around to try and learn the game - it is fun, could finally replace MOO2 as my default 4X game...!
So far (playing up to 40-45 turns against AI) the two nations I can get to grips with are Tien Chi (default) and Caelum (default)
I tend to turtle, because like to see the cool stuff in a game (I mean, in Civ1 the chariot rush was interesting once, but much preferred to win by getting to Alpha Centuri...!)
Tien Chi has access to most magic paths, which is good, and favours bringing order to the world... Plus Celestial Soldiers are gooood. I'll try Arco again, as they should be good magic Users, but dunno, just hasn't gelled yet.
Caelum suit me because of their strategic speed and flexibility - being able to relocate your forces fast makes up for a lot of strategic mistakes, and the relative weakness of their troops.
YMMV
