I agree - it would be a fine feature. Especially in SP games, the introduction of this option would speed up the learning process and enable players to devise strategies for nations of their choice much faster than normally.

Having the AI play the first bunch of turns might be good for SP. I problem I have is that by the time the cool late-game spells etc are available the game is basically won.
