Hello, It is nice to stumble upon a good website like this one. Do you care if I used some of the information here, and I’ll leave a link back to you?

@Dill – I agree, Bantu can be quite powerful given the peacock and Colossus, the fast moving infantry and the ultra-cheap cities. Booming seems to be their natural game, and that’s what I was saying … try to do this with Aztecs and you will see the difference. Some civvies just need to attack, while with others it is wiser to boom.

in my opinion, one of the better civilizations is Bantu. Especially if u can build the Colossus and have the peacock resource. you can get 325 population limit. That means you can comfortably have 100 citizens or more pushing all of the resource caps to the limit and building you a very strong economy.

@Ameya – Think back and tell me, you were Chinese that’s why you could super boom better. Had you been Mongols or Aztecs, then you could not have super boomed

@Vipul & Ameya – I say it goes on till next ages as well. For eg, Ameya in that game I was Maya who have the best infantry in the last age (special unit). Prashant was British (who also have special units infantry and air support). Bygones anyways
What I am saying is that certain civilizations should decide your decisions rush/boom. An Aztec rush stands a better chance of succeeding than a Lakota one for instance!!

Yup I agree. It matters. So I was on a flyer in that game. Chinese super booming. I also agree wit vips. He’s somewhat right.

I think civilizations matter the most during the first half of the game.. i.e. upto age 5 or 6.. after that every team is powerful as others. And, really.. it doesn’t matter what civics i get..(sometimes, it does matter ).. i just decide whether to go for boom or to go for rush!!
