Heh, I just yesterday read a proposed tactic for MA Jotunheim from the manual's nations chapter, and thought that the proposition had Gandalf Parker written all over it, with the flood gate analogy and all.

Yes, and check out the MA Pangaea one also

Ooh... so many choices.
I like Sauromatia. Good cavalry, good archers, decent infantry and nice magic. I think they are quite easy to get a feel for, plus they are very interesting I think.
The military side of things should be fairly intuitive I think. Experiment with positioning your units on the battlefield and getting them working well together.
For the magic, I'd recommend researching up Evocation. Nether bolt is very nice, and all your Enaries can cast it. If you can get up to Shadow Blast and have some gems spare to cast it, that can be devastating.

And be careful with your hydras, they tend to poison your other troops if not placed at a distance.

Ulm is a good starter nation. Good infantry and archers. focussed magic paths. Sauromatia has to deal with friendly fire poison and friendly poison aurus and blood hunting.
