The Timurids have been one of my favorite standbys to play as for a while. I most want to know how they are balanced now.

Probably England with RNW, because my last two games are as Portugal and Aragon, enough pyrenees for me for a while.
Assuming 'The Third Way' achievement is what people have been speculating - I will play as QQ and flip to Ibadi
England to USA with historical borders, protestantism and American culture in every province. I'll try to get some achievements related to diplomacy as well. Just an easy game to learn the new systems.
My next game will probably be Bengal -> Hindustan. I haven't played in India in forever, and I want to use the new permanent claims.

Hamburg -> Germany -> Revolutionary Germany
Hopefully I will have so many monarch point, I might even drown in them.

I will try Golden Horde first. Will burn every single eastern provinces.
Glory to Genghisids!

Yeah, I'm gonna take Muscovy too.
For the first time actually.
Now with those estates and diplomatic feedback actions it's gonna be awesome.

I've felt like Oirat was the obvious first try. With them you can try playing with all the general new things, new horde mechanics, and new tengri mechanics.
All the things.

Oirat, because it is generally awesome, and is a horde+starts Tengri. Other than that, i might do a Random New World game with a custom horde called the United Khanates of Murrica somewhere on the generated landmasses 
Denmark, checking out how much their buffs have affected them. Not sure if I'll play with RNW or not.
Shortlist:
-Denmark to experience the new Scandinavian setup and maybe colonize a RNW.
-One of the Jurchen tribes for syncretic faith, horde mechanics and permanent claims on China.
-Portugal to use the new colonial modifiers to colonize Africa easier.
-Some country with a new achievement attached.

Depends on the achievements they release with it
I'll pick one to start with and go from there.
Eventually I'll play all my favorites - France, Muscovy > Russia and Ming.

Still thinking I'll do a patch-only colonization game first, to test the RNW improvements. Depending on whether parliaments have changed significantly it's probably going to be as either England or one of the Dutch minors -> Netherlands. Patch notes may change my mind, however.
Probably one or two other games with the patch before I buy the DLC. If it's very poorly received I may not buy it full price, but looks like I probably will otherwise. There I'll likely start with any mid-sized western or eastern tech power that gets an achievement, unique estates or some other interesting change.

Jianzhou > Qing definitely first.
Something in India second. Actually any advice on Indian nations? Preferably not muslim.
Third, custom horde in Tunis. Now that ND is Ironman compatible and also has own achievements, I feel obliged to raid Europe from over the sea and raze it to the ground.

I am going to play as Jianzhou or Mewar most probably. Jianzhou for the new horde mechanics and Mewar for the estates. Just for getting familiar with new mechanics.
And then I am going to play a full Golden Horde game with intention to reform the Mongol Empire, or at least dominate the steppes.

I'm probably going to play as Portugal, conquer the whole Iberian peninsula and expand in the Mediterranean while trying to ignore the new world at the same time. Why? Because I always wanted to do it. It's totally unrelated to the new features.
If I don't do this, then the Oirats would be indeed a great option due to the new things they can do.

I'm currently thinking of doing a Navarra relocated to the RNW as my first game.
Then something horde. Maybe try Chagatai -> Mughals (I'm pretty sure that's possible)?
And after that, probably the newly independent Hamburg.
