Best 2v2 civs? [EP]

Post by Darwin_ »

With the 2v2 invitational coming up, I have been wondering what people think about 2v2 balance on EP and what civs are good. 2v2 is my favorite gamemode, and I try to play it as much as I can, but sadly that isnt enough for me to have a complete understanding of the matchup mechanics and what the best civs are. Vote for individual civs in the poll, and comment what you think some of the best team combinations are!

Brits. Bc they remain untouched by ep and just feel reliable. You can easily switch to greedy mode and back.

Brits, India, Russia, Aztec, Dutch, China, France, Ports, Ottoman, Germany, Japan, Spain, Iro and maybe Sioux are all viable imo.

After much trying and tiring thought, I've concluded everything is equally of value and everything is equally without value, 2v2 civs no exemption.

Most of them look about right. Not sure on Spain though, they are just a 1v1 civ at heart. The slow age hurts them so much in team plus not having carded goons or skirms doesn't make them attractive. Perhaps they could be used well if the team is really well co-ordinated to make the most use of the 2 falcs and 5 lancer cards.

Yeah, and they have good cav, but yeah, probably a bit overrated @WickedCossack . Probably not as good as France, as I think the nerfs for France hurt more in 1v1 And they've always been good in team. Idk tho

tier 1) port/India
Tier 2) brit/Japan/Dutch/Russia
Tier 3) France/Azzy/China
Tier 4) Spain/Germany/Iro/
Tier 5) Sioux (is this even a real civ?)

This is my personal opinion & a few civs like brits & Dutch could be tier 1, or France/Azzy tier 2 etc. keep in mind this is on EP. This is also assuming it's a standard map, something like Arkansas, becuase on a low hunt map, or a water map, or a high tp map (where map control is almost vital) my civ tiers would change drastically.
