NESes... stuff... things...
I run TerraNES, which is waiting for free time for the 20th update and which has done very well, if I do say so myself.
I played as Treha and Parthe in End of Empires. As Treha, I was still a noob, but I managed to turn a minor city state with divided loyalties into a power broker in its own right. Killed off due to parental banishment. Parthe I played with more maturity and with that result I have done quite well, although merely "uniting" and island and creating a viable economy are certainly things an NPC could do. What they couldn't do is to provide the engaging narrative and various crisis a native-style people faces when going "international" and "modern".
I've never played EQ's NESes for any significant amount of time. As Connecticut in ABNW I conquered Rhode Island and rivaled Massachusetts for several years, until I got sneak attacked after announcing a minor vacation. Until then I had colonies, strong international relations, and two protectorates. I later played a random native american nation and brought it from the 3rd world to the 2nd world in a half-dozen turns. I then played Normandy for a significant amount of time in Capto, brining it from a minor state to a power broker in France, and whose shift in alliance between Protestant Union, Burgundy and Languedoc ultimately caused the formation of the Confederation. Then I played Occitania, a bit part. The one turn I didn't send detailed orders on exactly how tod efend the pyrenees, the Spanish broke through. So yeah. Then I played Florida and made an engaging narrative about a polarized society and how a man, with his own mistaken point of view on the situation but also a sharp understanding of the forces tearing his beloved homeland apart, basically mass-murdered two armed extremist camps and returned Florida to the moderates.
In Immaculate's various FFH NESes you can especially see my progression between my failed attempt at Gregori to my astute diplomatic wheeling and dealing as the Vanari. I also wrote some of my best stories as the Vanari, although I am currently very pressured by both RL and my NES to continue in that fashion as I wished I could.
I also played the Zulu in Jason's nes, which conquered most of Africa.
I played as Aquitane in SK's Medieval NES. Notable for being the straight man at the butt of everyone's jokes for the first half of the NES, and then a deranged and hypocritical yes man for the second half. :3
TBH I've always picked and played bit parts in most of the NESes and slowly moved them up the ladder to small and regional powers. The few times I played decent powers to start the NES either died quickly, or it was early in my career and I ruined it utterly.
No pressure. Also, I didn't play in many NESes after TerraNES really started grinding and RL heated up.
So, yeah. Anything else you would need?
