Civilization Stategies

The following is the strategy I prefere for each civilization. But every strategy works only depending who the person next to you is. I also recommend you do your own strategy time to time to see if what you think is good can win you the game.
____________________________________________________________________________
Aztecs
5 kings at start
With Aztecs you really only have two strategies.

1. At the start of the game buy imperial age and 2 or 3 castles. Then either fight the person next to you or try razing the middle. With this you wanna then try saving for either robin or charles martel. I only recommend doing this strategy if you are a infantry based civilization next to you as the jaguars are weak to anything else.

2. The safer strategy to do is send you kings right away to the top store and buy charlemagne and buy imperial age to get garland wars. After this you want to try and save to buy martel as aztecs have the strongest martel in the game.
____________________________________________________________________________

Berbers
3 kings at start
With Berbers you only have one strategy.

1. Buy imperial age and all the castles. After this you want to save your kings for a any hero above charles martel as anything weaker is not worth getting unless you are unable to get kills.
____________________________________________________________________________

Britons
2 kings at start
With Britons you have three options.

1. Buy imperial age and 2 to 4 castles. Then put your longbows in your towers to get raze much faster as longbowmen arent the greatest at getting raze. After this you want to save either for robin hood then either khan, harald or hill.

2. Right from the start you want to save and buy robin hood. After you have robin you want to get imperial age for the extra range.

3. The most risky one of them all is to buy imperial age and have all 8 castles. The one thing you want to buy with them with this strategy is hill as you will be able to outrange every unit. Though this very risky as longbowmen are very weak in health and attack. As a result I do not recommend doing this strategy.
____________________________________________________________________________

Burmese
2 kings at start
With Burmese you have two options.

1. Buy imperial age and have all 8 castles. The unit you are looking for is either martel or harald as any archer unit is not good with Burmese as they miss two armor upgrades.

2. Buy imperial age and 2 or 3 castles. With this strategy you want to save and get martel. After this you want to save for hill or harald.
____________________________________________________________________________

1. Buy imperial age and 2 or 3 castles and rush the middle or side player for raze. With eneough kings the hero you want to buy is charles martel.

Ethiopians have three strategies.

1. With this strategy you want to save your kings and try buying robin as Ethiopian’s robin hood has +2 ap. Afterwards buy imp and trying saving for any hero better than robin hood.

2. Similiar to the first one buy easier is to buy archers of eyes right away as they also have +2 ap. What your gonna want to do is fill your middle and side towers with archers of eyes. Afterwards the hero you will want is anythng above subotai.

3. From the start buy a villager and make arblest as they fire faster for eithiopians. Then you want to fill your middle towers and side towers with arblest. The hero you will want is anything above subotai.

The Franks have three strategies.

1. From the start buy a villager and make stables and pump out paladins. The hero you will be aiming for is anything above martel asn frank martels have +1 range with beared axe.

2. Once the game starts save for charlemagne. Then buy imperial age for beared axe to give charlemagne +1 range. Afterwards the hero’s you can choose is subotai as he gets 50 for hp or martel for the extra range. If you are able to you can also go with khan with 60 extra hp though not missing last arhcer armor and bracer.

Incas
5 kings at start
There are 2 options for Incas depending who is next to you.

1. Buy imperial age and buy 2 or 3 castles. The hero you are gonna want to save up for is charles martel. Though I only recommend this route if you have a weak civ nex to you.

2. Right from the start you wanna save up for robin hood. Once you have robin buy imperial age. Then continue getting kills and if you still need raze keep looking for raze. Otherwise save for any hero above martel.

Indians
1 king at start
With Indians you have 2 options.

1. From the start of the game start getting raze and save for imperial age. Once you have imperial you wanna buy the 2 castles for a total 4 (which max). Once you have done that you wanna keep razeing and getting kills to get either khan or harald.

2. For this option you wanna save and get a villager instead imperial age. Once you have done that you wanna make your tc and go to imperial age. After you wanna start making more castles and if you want buy the 2 you can with your kings. Then you wanna keep making Elephant Archers and if the player next to is a cavalry you can also make imperial camel. Similiar the strategy above you wanna get khan or harald with indians.
