I think that any of the native nations should be quite difficult to play -- once the Europeans show up and your people start dropping like flies because of small pox, the 'oh sh*t' syndrome should start to set in nicely. 
What about duchy of Athens. Should be even harder then Byzantium. Byzantium has two provinces, at least they had at this time Thrace and Morea i think, this link shows it: http://www.euratlas.com/time/sea1400.htm i suppose that duchy of athens is what is called Achaia or is it the blue are to the nortwest of Achaia.
the Despotate of Achaia is actually...the Morea! Athens is well the rest of Greece and Albania is the Despotate of Epirus at least this is how it was in RL

France will be a freaking cakewalk once it is unified I think because of Joan and Napoleon!
I tend to agree-not considering it'll still have the leaders it had in the original from the period between those two luminaries.
Although if Joan's rated anywhere close to Napoleon etc.-that's going to be quite a crime!
We will see if that one actually makes it.... it fared the worst in the poll so far... and why would they have a poll except to eliminate some...?
Well it should have the same reason to be there as Auvergne. To simulate what was happening in France at this time.

I look forward to playing as Wales (if its in the final version), thou I imagine it would be pretty hard up against all those Alglo-saxons
They'd be no artillery to speak of, and to be historicly accurate, cavalry would be real expensive, so that leaves some sort of longbow-man bonus for infantry.
There again, perhaps it would be best of the Welsh princes just attended Longshanks corination instead of pissing him off

The Duchy of Athens is the blue area in that map; in 1400, it was temporarily under the control of Venice, but regained independence a few years later.
The Principality of Achaia was still around in 1419, barely, but it was soon afterwards completely absorbed into the Morea province of the Byzantine/Roman Empire.
By 1419, the Despotate of Arta/Epeiros was confined to the only the southern coastal area that it covers on the map. The Lordship of Croja was where Skanderbeg eventually ruled, and is more or less equivalent to Albania.
I'm just going to play Zimbabwe and conquer whole africa and kick those stupid European Nations!!
I hope so???
I hope so???
Afghanistan..... everyone hates them.
The good thing is no pirates ...and there is no freaking airplanes...

I bet Afghanistan won't be so hard... they have history on their side as far as withstanding invasions and launching invasions into India...plus royal ties with Persia should be in play for accuracy. That was big problem with EU, Persia and the Mughals had such bad relations... though historically they were realated, and the Persians helped restablish their rule when an upstart temporaily usurped them.
I think Bengal will be difficult in the face of the Mughal/SUltanate of Delhi onslaught.
