i always play 2 or 3 nations in a full (all nations) map in SP, in order to learn more nations at once and usually by some point be able to have a big war between myself and see who wins/works best etc.
well, once my nations run into eachother anyhow. it is a bit cheating since you get intelligence from all your nations (in the sense that you know in your head where other nations are that only one of your nations by itself wouldnt know about). but thats a slight advantage, especially because you usually know about some nation all the way across the map that doesnt matter to you anyway (nowhere near you).
it makes turns go alot slower hehe but SP is fast enough anyway.
Feel free to do those types of games. They impart knowledge which can be very handy.
A) They give more of a feeling for how the game handles players which leads directly into hosting games later.
B) Feel free to play multiple races as allies. It can give you a good feel for how some nations can best be used as allies. Some nations that do not do well trying to win on their own, make excellent and useful allies. You can also iron out some of the better ally tricks and tips. Such as building a castle to use as a drawbridge to allow allies to move armies thru your territory.
