CIVILIZATION 5 PYRAMID RUSH FREE

Game Modes - Secret Societies - (1 / 4).Game Modes - Heroes & Legends Mode - (0 / 5).I'm going to tell you what I think about the different civilizations of the ancient era. I would like to know your enlightened opinions. The goal is that this feedback will be useful to our developer friends, to balance all this. Assyrians are only good if you start close to a rival civ. The marauder is not very powerful, and what he brings in terms of plunder is not worth his investment.īabylonians: An interesting and balanced civ. Playing a science civ is not very useful, as you absolutely need to produce the buildings and districts, which will help to go faster in research. Compared to an economic bonus, I much prefer to play Egyptian or Harapeans, as the productivity bonuses outweigh the light military bonuses of this faction. Spawning units in any nearby outpost is a nice little bonus. Their cavalry unit is powerful and requires two strategic resources. It is not capable of attacking districts, so it will be useless for conquering a city. This is so, but it makes this civ not as strong for aggression, as one might think. They are good at taking over administrative centers. Mycenians: For me, this is the best-designed military civ at the moment. Because their military bonus is coupled with an economic bonus, which is their ability to build a fort that exploits industry. Their passive bonus is very clearly useful throughout the game. This faction is for me much better than the Assyrians and Hittites at the moment, again, because of the presence of a useful specialized district, which those factions do not have. Their military unit is useful and can take cities, which is what a rush is all about. They are good enough to produce farms, and that's it. Their military unit is interesting if you anticipate fighting in the forest. Phoenicians: A civ specialized for coastal maps clearly. Zhous: A lousy civ if you have no mountains, great if you have a lot of them. It's a bit too binary a design, but why not. It's good to have very situational factions.

If we have mountains, you'll go to the classic era very quickly. Their heavy cavalry unit is unique and effective. I didn't understand how the stability works. Is it related to the overall stability of the civilization, or the city that produced it? I don't know. Nubians: Good districts, good little economic bonuses to lay the foundation for a merchant, or a gold producer civ. Their archer unit is very useful and efficient, and more able to take districts than a big Hittite or Zhou cavalry unit.Įgyptians: Everything is powerful with them. Their industrial bonus is universally useful, whether you play warmonger, economic, and applies to all ages. District cost reduction is the same: universally useful. Their district is perfectly useful too, in all situations. It is the best to take in almost every situation. We need to remove the industrial bonus, and find something else. It could be a bonus to building wonders, or an industrial bonus only in desert environments, I don't know. The Egyptian unit is also powerful and very useful. A fast archer, on a tank, that moves at will like a Mongolian unit. Harapeans: They are as powerful as the Egyptians. A bonus in food universally, and the whole game, useful. A river bonus is also useful, if you start near a river. It's a bit the same problem as the Egyptians. Bonuses useful immediately, useful later, and an equally useful district. I agree that some civs need to be more powerful because it pushes you to rush the next eras, but the bonuses of this faction go too far. Their faster scout unit is always useful, in any game you are sure to have it. I haven't played all the cultures, but I agree that Mycenaeans are very well designed and balanced - it is their industry-focused fort, that makes them feel complete for me. I like that their emblem unit is cheap, fast and quick to unlock - this is well themed for expansion and ransacking (as MasterPaw points out). Their emblem district is decent militarily, but lacking economically, so I'd buff its +influence a bit, which would help them with the expansion theme. I agree with Light_Spectrum, that Assyrians suffer due to the Expansionist ability being very difficult to use (make it work the same way Ransack does).

Though they need to remain expansionist, coz the free trespassing enables ransacking.
