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.
I think the whole point of playing the game is having fun, and if playing with the faction of your forefathers inspires you, go for it. In MTW the Polish were hard, but not necessarily too hard. And it was deffinitely fun. The main difficulty I think came mostly from low income issues due to poor lands. I do not know how hard playing Poland would be in M2TW, but I hope it would be, as challenges are the thing that makes the game interesting.
