....when it comes to countries.
Would anyone agree/disagree?
I generally prefer large, but have just started a (for all intents and purposes) small position in one of the games. I'd love to hear the views of those players who play small positions, and especially any players that only ever choose small ones.
There are many benefits and disadvantages, but I think it would depend on what you want to achieve. Venice would never single handedly bring down the Turks, and Scotland would fare pretty badly in a head to head with England. But when it comes to, introducing universal education or a new system of canals Chinese Provinces and Russia would be at a loss to raise the funds.
Obviously income and recruits will be an issue more than once for a small position, but the obvious answer their is to 'buddy-up' with a powerful neighbour, provided you can strike a deal.
I'd love to see what people think, or what they have experienced from playing the little ones (Scotland, Venice, Milan etc).
