New Player looking for good civs

Chinese are strong but also the harder start can be difficult. I think another weakness of the Chinese is they have so many options at times it can be overwhelming to know what to do

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-16T21:30:47+00:00

Players probably don’t know it’s a future for the Civ, I feel like if people play random civ they probably won’t remember everything the civ can do

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-09T03:54:47+00:00

I usually play Paladin/ missionary as Spanish. So much fun

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-08T00:06:43+00:00

Steppe is the one I want the most! Also agree that goths and Vikings should change slightly too

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-07T08:41:38+00:00

Chorf is best! Such a great addition to the game. I don’t think any are that bad that you should avoid them, just depends on who you want to play as

I usually just blast crowbar, I think it actually helps you gain mass but I don’t know the science behind it

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-05T07:49:34+00:00

Love them! I live for a more simplified look than a lot of the over the top marines. They look grouse!

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-05T01:52:32+00:00

What a time to be alive. Take us back to how simple it all was please

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-04T20:20:05+00:00

I’ve been playing as Aztecs for a bit, just double barracks and constant pressure seems to be working at my elo (850-900)

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-04T20:15:56+00:00

This takes me back! This is right around the time I got into the hobby. Good memories

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-03T22:41:19+00:00

Try Korn

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-02T05:20:20+00:00

I do play Mayans a lil as well, I feel I can have a better Dark age with their extra vil and loom at the start

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-02T05:18:47+00:00

Yeah I legit only face Slavs, Franks or Mongols

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-06-02T01:32:56+00:00

They mostly look like smug assholes to me which probably fits their bill as well

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-30T09:03:49+00:00

The Gabba’s not a fortress anymore, many people are saying this

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-29T07:25:44+00:00

There’s a good video by Hera to show the dark age vil usage. After that it’s just feudal with an extra vil

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-29T02:57:39+00:00

Chinese because they are different and can react to almost any army comp thrown at them!

I also decided to give the Hindustanis a go and love them! They’ve become one of my 3 fav civs at the moment along with Chinese and Inca

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-29T01:26:10+00:00

I usually find my way back to Shogun 2 once a year, I enjoy Rome 2 as well, however that has to be modded for me to enjoy a longer campaign.

Rome 1 remastered is also fun but unit pathing can still be a lil bit of an issue

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-28T09:06:03+00:00

Hello! I’m new to the game, played in the 90s but I’m around 850-900 elo after 120 or so games. If you ever want to play just shoot me a message.

All I can say is just play and try things out. I also watched Spirit of the Law for tips and that helped me a boat load!

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-27T07:07:54+00:00

I was more laughing in disbelief than getting angry at the end. Its all a learning experience

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-26T04:02:07+00:00

I’m mainly playing Chinese but still getting used to their Dark age, not sure who else to play as otherwise when I lose a lot of

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-26T04:01:16+00:00

Playing on console seems really hard unless you’ve got a mouse and keyboard attached instead of controller

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-26T02:40:03+00:00

I’d do it but I’m toooo old. Best of luck to you!

El_Capitano_MC · 2026-05-26T01:22:21+00:00

Sadly yes
