Poll - Hardest civ to play

Post by Mameluke »

Whats the hardest civ to play in your opinion? Vote and comments with explanations are also welcome.

Imo its China. You get so many units out and it was hard for me to get a good unit composition and also using the villages correctly etc.

You are correct. I take it back. India, because sentries/irreguliars are more complex than minutemen + monks need to be microed well early + difficult macro.

Probably india, perhaps aztec. Maybe japan, but thats depends on the style. It kinda depends on the style for each civ. But objectively, twc and tad civs have more features and are measurably more difficult. Its not a big difference anyway, all civs are quite easy once you put some effort into it.

Ottomans burn out after the shipment-fueled rush/timing. After that, its kinda hard to come back (in terms of eco)
The longer the game goes on, the worse ottomans get.

Patch only matters for Sioux. No other civ has been revamped and is therefore more or less equally easy to play (unless you actually want to go early church with Ottomans). @QueenOfdestiny

True, but Otto is incredibly easy to play. Ship crates, make strong units, right click TC. Christ, you don't even have to remember to make vills.

Blackstar plays otto on EP (in finals vs raphael), which is hard i think. Since otto units are strong they require micro more. Of course otto is not hardest, judt not that easy imo.

I think playing japan is pretty easy since you dont need to hunt.

For me its spain. When i play with it always feel that opponents civ has just more opportunity to win. Even if i wanna search high level play for that civ i find only Bsop vs Lordraph and i can see raph just chilling and thinking "where is bsops army" "oh he has none". Something like that and just winning the game by playing british.
Donno but people here claims spain isnt that weak but i dont find any high level competitve 1v1 games for years where it could have won. Give me proof if im wrong, but i dont think...

Spain is not bad on ep, it's probably an average civ or so.
On re, it's pretty bad but it's not the worst civ. It still wins a couple match ups

it gets a lot harder when you start to play india as theyre meant to be played. With early or transition tp.
spain macro is easy as long as you are able to herd (both meaning that you have herds, and the skill to herd, which even many top players dont have or ateast dont show even in tourney games). Spains micro is indeed where it gets tougher, many different groups, and no longer the mass and stats to deathball.
