Need another nation

[jaif]

Ok, I'm liking pangaea new age a lot. I still think the dryad hoplites are a bit silly (you can only make them in your capital, for crying out loud!), but other than that they seem nice and solid. Your minos are the anvil, your centaurs and pans are the hammer. The scouting "problem" actually turns out to be easy; just recruit cheap independents (duh! I'm slow, but I'm learning.)

Anyways, I'm starting to come up with a new idea (damn this game!) and I thought I'd ask for help in selecting the nation. I'm looking for a nation which isn't named ermor that has a weak beginning game and strong endgame.

Any choices?
