I think that Dom3 does a good job of creating a overall story for a nation throughout the different ages.

Agartha EA to MA to LA for example is very well done, also Ermor and its decline into the Ashen empire.

Its cool getting the odd hero or playing a new nation that fills in some of the storylines.

Picking a nation, then playing it EA-MA-LA gives you a campaign/story feel. I like to do this with my SP games.
