Last time i have played random or no power nations .I dont like Algeria and Turkey because are limited in units on my start options .But of course, we dont know what nation wil be in C3
That's a lot of Prussia !! I think Russia, Ukraine and Sweden We should also do this for the faction we think we will play the least !
It all depends on nation balance. If a nation is OP then I will play it a lot till it is rebalanced. Otherwise, I prefer a nation which can swarm quantity early and produce high quality troops late if such a nation exists.
