If they are far more experienced and you want the biggest advantage you can get try helheim.

Re: Need recommendation on EA culture to play for
Not sure on the map size, but they are definately more experienced and aggressive in nature. I have started speccing a pretender for Helheim but would love some suggestions. I was thinking dormant frost father w/ W9E4 and some scale mods. thoughts?

Re: Need recommendation on EA culture to play for
Something where the national units are big on home-defense. Something with really good PD. Maybe a pretender which gains units from strong dominion then put lots of points into dominion. Basically a nation that is built to withstand the attacks of better players. It sounds like you arent going to do well playing the game their way, so shift tactics.
Me personally, Id take a heavy stealth nation that can survive even if it loses its own castle. Ive wrecked havoc thru some games with a build like that. Didnt win, but I definetly was a pain in the scoreboard affecting the games outcome.
If you cant beat them then join them.
If you cant beat them or join them,
then at least be a nasty surprise.

Re: Need recommendation on EA culture to play for
Helheim sounds good to me. I've never played with their blesses, but certainly W9 sounds like a must.

Re: Need recommendation on EA culture to play for
EA Helheim is regarded by many as the most powerful EA nation due to thier powerful blessable units. This is particularly the case in an unmodded game.
But why are you only taking one strong bless? Go with F9W9 for the win.
