Choosing a Country: Adventures of a N00b

[LDiCesare]

I tend to cycle through nations at random. I dislike water nations so rarely play them, but the result is I'm not really good with any nation and tend to get trashed in mp games for lack of knowledge of any particular nation.
I like AE Agartha (nice summons) and T'ien Ch'i (nice summons and sacreds), all ages C'tis (as sauromancers = skeleton spam are hard to get wrong), and LE Arcoscephale (armored elephants!). I think of trying to get good with one or two nations in each era only in order to be able to play them in mp without looking clueless or realising after a few turns that I miss astral and death or did something silly like not using the drain immunity of LE Man or ME Ulm.
