Ceylon. With some risky, suicidal attacks into southeast Asia/eastern India, you can capture animist provinces you can convert, which will let your culture spread on the mainland. Gets interesting when Ming shows up, or when India starts to notice what you're doing.

I for some odd reason like to play the countries in Indonesia -- so Makassar, Brunei, Aceh or Bali. So the SE Asian states are in constant war, but the island states seem to be pretty quiet and just go about thier "trade wars" in the COT's on the mainland.

If I play in Europe -- I try for COT states or a more defensible kingdom like Portugal. -- but the constant & hectic warfare aint my style ..

Since I'm still new to HTTT, there will be some getting used to it, so who knows

is there a limit to how many words/characters you can have in a post?

if so, why not shorten them. e.g.
#country# - #difficulty#, #main objective#, #secondary objective#
England - Easy, Form Great Britian, Colonize the Americas
The Mamluks - Easy, Defend from the Ottomans, Conquer Arabia and India
Austria - Medium, Form HRE, Defeat Bohemia
Incas - Hard, Defend from europe, Take over America

Short, neat and full of info

There probably is a limit, but I don't care. I don't think such a short summary provides a player with the necessary information; at the same time, too long a description is scary and off-putting. I think the current length is perfect; some are a bit short, but other than that, we're fine.

I don't have HttT, so I can't contribute, but is it really possible that nobody else hasn't ever played Serbia (and lived to tell about it)?

In HttT Serbia starts as an Ottoman vassal. That apparently makes her unpopular.

i meant Greece=Byzantium, considering that Greece does not exist at game start/isn't even formable without modding/is more likely to appear in Kaffa.

because A) germany is formable, B) Finland is releasable without modding, C) Netherlands formable too/you can start as them at a later date, D) Ireland also formable.

The thing with Greece is, as i mentioned, that it requires some modding to be in from game start/made formable, this should be in your "reason" to play with them, as it might otherwise leave people confused.
