I've only played nine kingdoms for a long enough time to feel like I
know enough to have an opinion of them.  In the order that I enjoyed
playing them (which is obviously dependent on far more than just how
good they are inherently) we have:
Khitai - buckets of fun!  Huge army and lotsa room to grow.
Kusan - like Khitai, but smaller ;-)
Amazonia - ditto, but signifantly more player interaction
Juma's Kingdom - can get trapped or overwhelmed by simply bigger
	neighbors
Hyrkania - a little too weak...
Iranistan - So much weaker than Turan that if he concentrates on you...
Vendyha - not enough to do, too hemmed in
Zingara - Argos seems to be able to routinely smash him
Kosala - like Vendhya, not enough to do, too hemmed in.

NOTE: I picked several of these up on standby and therefore could have
kinda scewed (sp?) views on them, but the standby discount _is_ nice,
and for the whole game, too.
