To play as Poland even though I'm new to the whole genre. I typically like to pick my faction through my heritage (if that sounds stupid or not.), and I figured since I'm Polish Lithuanian I would have a lot of fun playing as this faction. How did Poland play in the first MTW? I like the play the game on H/H or VH/VH and just lose repeatidly rather than beat it on medium my first try. Out of these factions (based on assumption and MTW), what faction out of these would be challenging but not ridiculous, because from what I understand Poland is very very hard to play as.
