Do you find it enjoyable to replay a country?

[unmerged(200028)]

Just wondering, I've heard from people that the 'experience' of a game for any particular country is limited to one play-through. I suppose they would think this due to having a similar strategy for most of the game, but I don't necessarily agree with them. Right now, I'm playing my second serious Bavaria campaign, and it is lots of fun!

What are your thoughts?

I've played through Muscovy twice SP and if I do it again it will be far too soon.

MP is a different story though. I'd rather play something I'm somewhat familiar with.

I replayed Holland and Ferrara, the first because of his colonial empire that could be build where you want, and Ferrara because it will always be challenging.

Certainly, because you can always take them different ways.
As England I've abandoned my continental holding and focused on forming Great Britain and colonizing; another game I didn't touch Scotland, but became the greatest land power in the world, owning all of western Europe.
You can do pretty much the same as any nation.
You can make Holland a small trade power, or form a "North Sea Empire"; you can restore the Byzantines to Rome, or you can stay in the East; you can turn Ferrara into Italy, or you can colonize India, culture-shift, and become a strong Westernized nation surrounded by poor-tech nations.
You can literally do anything you want, with any nation.
I think that makes the game's replayability approximately 100% as long as you play a single country for more than 25 years.

Considering that events will usually turn out pretty drastically different, particularly if you're playing a country that interacts meaningfully with Bohemia and Austria, or France and Burgundy, as they can usually make a big splash.

I think the majority of the European countries are replayable without repeating the same steps.

Castille and Austria are my top choices for replayability.

Castille might be too overpowered. Austria is a good candidate, in my opinion, although Bavaria is my favorite.

Only replayed a country two times. One as Sweden and the other as Bavaria. Bavaria was really nice to replay and I think i might even do it again.

I've played Aachen twice, France a few times(only, however, because I use them to get used to new patches/expansions), and I think Venice twice. My Aachen games were drastically different due to the fact that in the first one I conquered Iberia and formed Spain(was amusing), while in the second one I went, stayed pretty much entirely in the German region, and conquered it all.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I've also played the Ottomans like 4 times or something. It's to the point really where I know my general strategy for them too well, and thus it becomes very easy very fast, even more so than what is normal for playing the Ottomans.

I replay countries whenever a new patch or expansion comes out or if I come up with a new strategy that might change something.(whenever I learn a new trick/exploit in forum)

I've played each major at least five times.

I have never played MP.
