A26 Civ ranking/tiers

[Emacz]

Wonder what opinions are out there!?  I haven't seen a video/thread for this alpha with a civ ranking.

TGs and 1x1.

Honestly the civ balance has been better than ever. Its not easy to come up with a top 5 since you always need to leave out strong civs.

are you considering a26 or community mod? 

[Emacz]

I still think with Community mod you have stronger/weaker civs....I still put Ptolmies, Gauls in top tier... I don't think very highly of kush, seleucids.

Also since @alre brought it up.  is there somewhere that outlines the clear differences between a26 and community mod?

my bad yea I was assuming community mod.

@Emacz see the funny thing is that plenty of players would have kush in their top 5, and I tend to have the most success with seleucids. If there is one civ that I would say isn't great for most players right now its Carthaginians, however borg has played them really well recently anyway.

to be honest I think merc cav are still in a decent spot, its just now you aren't guaranteed to win the game, so the risk is way higher.

[alre]

what about romans? I don't see them often.

So i guess this is good, means things are relatively balanced  I guess it depends on your playstyle too... risk vs reward.  I just feel Gauls can boom fast have good eco and good hero, and Ptolmie have so many different strategies/options.

I would put rome in the second tier....  I honestly only play Gauls/Rome/Spartans  and I think spartan's are one of the weaker/simpler civs I have a different topic on that.  Although their skiri are OP if played right.
