Assyria
Assyria is a great civ for war because of its unique unit, the Siege Tower. Siege Towers can carry melee units over walls, making it easier to capture cities. I’ve played as Assyria before, and I love using Siege Towers to take over enemy cities. It’s a lot of fun!
Huns
The Huns are known for their powerful cavalry units. Their unique unit, the Horse Archer, is a ranged unit that can move after attacking. This makes it great for hit-and-run tactics. I prefer playing as the Huns because I love the feeling of charging into battle with a horde of horsemen.
Mongolia
Mongolia’s unique unit, the Keshik, is a cavalry unit that can attack twice in one turn. This makes it great for taking out enemy units quickly. I’ve had a lot of success with Mongolia in the past, especially in the early game when I can use the Keshiks to take out enemy scouts and workers.
Zulu
The Zulu are a great civ for war because of their unique unit, the Impi. Impis are melee units that can attack twice in one turn if they’re fighting in groups. This makes them great for taking out enemy units quickly. I’ve played as the Zulu a few times, and I love using Impis to take over enemy cities.
Greece (Alexander)
Greece (under Alexander) is a great civ for war because of its unique unit, the Companion Cavalry. Companion Cavalry are powerful cavalry units that can move after attacking. This makes them great for hit-and-run tactics. I’ve played as Greece before, and I love using Companion Cavalry to take out enemy units and pillage their lands.
