Which Civ Should You Pick In Age Of Empires 4?!

[@mausolus8466]

Thank you very much for including "defensive" (which in my eyes include my favourite turtling as well) playstyle as well - many "pro" players seems to be convinced (and sometimes are very vocal and preachy about it) that defensive playstyle should be punished to the extreme by game and/or should be completly erased from RTS playstyles, so that its users basically lose before the game even starts by simply choosing to play that way. Big respect!

Japanese is honestly a good one for 'new to rts' category

[@alessandrozuccaro5273]

It's really beginner friendly, and it can go easily with any build order, like early onna bugaisha aggression, fast castle into samurai horseman and echo into samurai at age 3

Honestly I am completely new to rts and picked up AoE 4 and the dlc on a steam sale. I struggled against intermediate AI as almost everything but the English. As soon as I started messing with Japanese though I was able to start actually playing with my strategy and going for specific win conditions against intermediate AI. I'm tempted to bump it up to Hard but I know I will get obliterated by it

its so funny, everyone recommended for me to play French, and I find other civs a lot easier. French has to force the issue in feudal which can be very micro/macro intensive. Still enjoying them though.

Before the Sultans I have been going on/off with Mongols, but their playstyle of being hyper aggressive isn’t really for me, I always struggle of trying to do a rush and end up failing miserably where I only got to Castle by the 30min mark (which is super late) whilst others are already in Imperial. I gave the Chinese a try, and then the basic English to the Abbasids, nothing really stuck. And then the Byzantines came. I have always been a major Roman History nerd, and not surprisingly I found my playstyle with the Byzantines. I find the Byzantine as a very versatile and very adaptable faction well suited to my liking. Starting early from Feudal, I can either go super aggressive with the Hippodrome or have a strong Mercenary/Economy boost with the Vineyard; later on to Castle I can have an even bigger, diverse, and adaptable Mercenary army with the Golden Horn, or have an Army that can heal at anytime and anywhere with the Cistern; and come Imperial, no defense can really stand against anything when you can spam OP siege engines or have free units every so and then. In the Byzantines I have truly found the playstyle of being a versatile adaptive and mid-late game strong faction

Rus???? Where would you place them...asking for a friend

[@beyondAOE4]

They are a mix of aggressive, defensive and unique! A little bit of everything!

[@elyahoo195]

I just started playing, choose the ottomans. No complaints

[@MertMeral237]

where is ottomans

Why delhi is considered aggresive?

[@beyondAOE4]

You can produce so many uniques early on with Tower of Victory, you can put produce a lot of early age Civs!

[@giordanosidoretti1751]

@@beyondAOE4 cool! I would like to know how to use them in a good way, i find them a bit hard to use...

[@giordanosidoretti1751]

@@beyondAOE4 may i ask you how to use elephants? I don't find a good way to use them

[@beyondAOE4]

Would highly recommend Valdemar’s build orders and would be very aggressive with Delhi if you can!

[@beyondAOE4]

Unfortunately, there isn’t a really good method to use them at this point in the game :(
