Mongol.
Quite versatile, good economic bonuses, and is not a 1 way to go like other civs.
Huns
I’m a slow-ass casual player, and saving time not building houses really bloody helps in the beginning.
I also get paladins if I need.
Britons because I’m afraid of commitment
Spanish because horse go pew pew
Goths.
I play with my friends and have learned a couple different strategies.
So if they need support, I can do that.
If they want me to speed for castle and spam, I can do that too.
And I like them because it’s rather simple.
Just set a rally point for the 8-12 barracks, queue up a bunch of units, and eventually send an army of 30-60 units to attack.
Though on larger map I’ll walk the barracks to the front line, deleting the ones further back.
Poles, Folwark food bonus makes it easy to Scout rush while still keeping a decent Castle time.
Gold trickle while mining stone means you can put all your miners on stone, and have enough to drop a castle the moment you hit Castle age.
Obuch is a perfect complement to your cav as it shreds pikemen and is easy to mass.
I love Ethiopians.
I prefer archer play but struggle against knights.
My monk micro is bad and I prefer to mix in pikeman, which is a lot easier with the free upgrade.
Also age up bonus and stronger archers in general makes playing them very smooth and straightforward.
Great siege too to finish the game.
Celts
Woodchopping bonus saves me from my own clumsiness when trying to stick to a build order.
Infantry with their Nike shoes chase down their targets with ease.
Don’t have to research Champions due to awesome infantry UU.
Siege absolutely murders all.
We are the best ally civ and your best friends.
Y’all love you some Genitours and faster castles, don’t lie or try to hide it…
That make the Berbers best civ.
Lithuanian.
Insane eco, insane knights, insane trash and insane UU
Byzantines, they have the answer to everything but mostly vanilla eco so no room to be caught off-guard.
It teaches you to scout well and prepare answers before the enemy military shows up at your base.
Cheap imp is a nice way to get some tempo back, and there are almost no civs that can outlast you although obviously people can raid you to death.
It also tells me when it’s time to practice my build orders because of that vanilla eco.
I don’t always notice my timing is off if an eco bonus is carrying me.
Magyars, Huns, Mongols.
I love being able to overwhelm my opponent late game with Huszars
Sicilians.
We get nerfed the most so we must be the best right?
I have a 56% win rate last I checked on games that go to imp.
So good eco good late game civs ie Hindustani.
But I am working hard to improve my early and mid castle age civs ie many archer civs, only like a 46% win rate on games that end in castle.
I’ve improved my feudal pressure +micro macro balance a lot but don’t do a great job with the first tech switch and keeping pressure up in early and mid castle
For winning, I go Japanese. 20pop M@a into archers kills most things in my elo, and Japanese (with their wood savings) are the only civ I have the skill to go up without idle on 20, everyone else is 21 pop or more.
If the enemy survives to castle forward siege and xbows.
For strongest civ at my elo (1100-1200), I’ve probably gotta give it to Aztects as all in eagle play seems to kill a good part of the time.
Also people are getting good enough to avoid idling tc due to increased carry capacity.
People still idle their start as Chinese too much for them to be top tier down here.
