How many countries have you played?
I'm curious, as applies to both SP and MP. The enormous variety of countries, each with different strategies, is a huge part of the appeal of this game; picking just one favorite seems almost impossible.
To answer my own question for re: myself:
MP-Only 2 games so far, both still in the pretty early game, as EA Caelum and MA Ulm.
SP-EA: Abysia (my first game), Caelum, Tien Chi, and Ulm (which I sorta maybe lost interest in after I conquered half the map but couldn't take Niefel's fortress, my focus on nature/earth buffing magic didn't cut it. Had a blast with the White Bull tho)
MA: Ulm, Agartha, C'Tis (Agartha, incidentally, was my first use real of Pretender SC, the Awakaned Oracle.)I've STARTED a Bandar Log game with a bless strat, and I wanted to play with Astral Stuff like Mind Hunt.
LA: Ulm, Atlantis--both, thematically, my favorite countries. (Is it just me, or does almost everyone end up using death or blood magic in the LA?) I've STARTED a few Bogarus games, with Father of Winters as SC, but haven't gotten very far; might try again with a rainbow mage, because SC pretender isn't really needed against AI, and I mainly want to play with the unique summons anyway and the cavalry seems solid enough to expand against indies.
Personally, I'd want to play at least most of an SP game with a country before playing it in a multiplayer game, if only so I know about what kind of force I need to take out indies with minimal losses.
