Looking for a country to play

[unmerged(218146)]

Hello

I am looking for a fun nation to play. i would prefer a nation, with 2-3 provinces that i can create a empire with, i have already done it with holland and byzantine, and had a lot of fun, but want to try a new country.

any suggestions?

the Hansa (merchant style or Germany)
Papal States (holy wars and excommunications)
the Palatinate (HRE or Germany)

Hesse or Brunswick.

Highly depends on what you want to play. Small trader into colonization or conquest potential? A western nation or sth in Asia? There are so many possibilities...

I would prefer a conquest nation, but i am open for anything. i dont care where the nation is in the world.

I am open for all ideas

Well, you could do a Hindustan game beyond the usual Vijavanagara or Delhi... or you could go for a Malaya game or sth else in SE asia. In the European area, Hansa is definitely an option for more or less everything, your big CoT just makes you stupid rich. You can go colonizing or form Germany or both... the usual free traders all have quite a good position for conquest, too, since trade gives so huge amounts of money and tech benefits.

Seconding the Papal State. Excommunication wars are hilarious.


A couple other ideas:

- Muscovy -> Russia. Pretty fun early game as you forcibly carve your way into existence, yet not quite as impossible as some OPMs.
- Irish minor. Form Ireland, flee to America before the UK wipes you out, then return for vengeance after you've built up.
- Brandenburg. You have to deal with HRE stuff (possibly interesting, possibly not) but are in a good empire-building position at the game's start.

Portugal is very good you can ally with Castille and Aragon and go at war with the north african countries and Portugal is very good for Colonialism, considered the best.
