On Ruges Mod: Using or not the whole mod, I'll likely be using the AI params from it.
Also, I'll be modding the Missile Fabrications to have more constructions slots, so we can actually use them in battle without having to either build hundreds of factories nor save it for special occasions. Considering 5, 10 and 20 slots.
Brazil: Pros: It's pretty interesting, and I there is a certain nationalistic appeal for me. Cons: A bit on the easy side. If you have a military powerful enough to keep the rest of south America behaving well (pretty easily. Argentina is likely to declare war fast, but it can be crushed pretty easily) you can build up very easily. There's no real pressure to expand your borders, since you don't lack for any natural resource and have a huge population. Of course, if the game is interactive and you guys form a parliament, it might create a new pressure to expand.
Paraguay, Andorra, Luxembourg and other titans: Either we get a lot of time of nothing happening or we get Invaded and crushed to death by some big country, and I'm not skilled enough to try to win in such mismatched situation.
Germany: Isn't bad, although it would make some fourth reich jokes nearly inevitable. On the down side, we'd either have to initiate nearly all significant wars (Belarus deciding to commit suicide by declaring war against half of Europe doesn't count) unless we chose the more conflictual maps and/or throw hot relations up. Still, sounds a pretty good option, it's balanced option, as it does not terribly overpower its neighbors but it's still a match for them.
North Korea: Sounds pretty fun, lots of wars. Its natural enemies are stronger than it, but not so much that it'd make victory impossible. That said, I'm not sure if I can pull it off. At the very least, I'd need advice on tactics.
And on another note, what's the opinions on starting the game without any pre built units? It does make the early moments much faster (less processing to go), but it can throw balance off in some countries (in my current game to get some skills back, shattered world, playing as california, it barely passed a year, and Mexico annexed Texas, in something of a light infantry rush.
As California I'm managing to deal pretty decently against it, using a bit more of an elite unit strategy, using Israeli Namerras Mk II supported by Merkavas Mk IV, MRLS and close air support, and should be able to finish them after a few more months, as the factories pump out more units). Anyway, so I'd like some opinions on it.
