Re: My copy came in the mail!
One strategy particular to Caelum is something I call "checkers strategy". Use mercs and elephants to claim the areas that connect to your castle in order to increase production there. But then scout for weak independents. Create a large flying army (or stealth if you find the right indepts). Skip over the hard indepts and take the weak ones. Force an enemy to fight you, then an indept, then you, then an indept if they want to reach you. Strike back at him just after he as hit a strong indept province.
Of course this is an early to mid-game strategy up until you and he can both create armies that make the indepts left on the board to be no defense anymore. And it works better on larger maps with more space between you and them.
Keep trying all the nations. You want to find one where its individual abilities matches your individual playing style.
