Delhi are the 'elephant civ', but I think forced more infantry is better and thus counts for more. Second, I dont believe in 'age of unique units' - that means if a unique unit sucks, the core units are stronger than average I'll consider that e.g Longbows suck, but have you seen network boosted knights/crossbow? Last, I wont judge civs based on their incentivized identity, if said identity is suboptimal e.g.
AGE OF EMPIRES 4 CIVILIZATIONS TIER LIST FULL
First, I'm only considering how strong the civs are with their basic and unique techs done and civ/landmark bonuses on at full blast, not how hard it is to get there. It'll take a full essay to go over everything in detail, so I'll put down some general notes. Pastures are better than farms, best trade in the game, yam network OP - but ever single raid hurts and anyone's knights can(will) break you.
Hisar academy is 600 food/min assuming house of learning was taken and +5 carry capacity amounts to a 1-3% boost to overall gather rate - nothing else, eco is pants.Ĩ.Mongols - 5 military, 4 eco, 1 defense - Mangudai are the abominations from Stronghold Crusader at the end, springalds are better than Rus overall, all techs (military, eco, religion) are 30%-50% stronger than everyone else.
Elephants vulnerable to generic bombards/hand cannons/crossbows in imperial. Imagine speedy hand cannoneers with tower of victory and zeal buff, building stone wall for elevation and being healed by scholars. Better eco than Abbasid, but easily countered military.ħ.Delhi - 5 military, 1 eco, 4 defense - Best ability, walls OP, best support unit, best support techs = best dang military ever. Extra hp on defensive buildings - not much but noone else has it. 4/8 civs can take siege lead and spam mangs, and French hard counter with 10/8 armor, +25% fire rate, 90 res cost arbalests. Eco is more secure, but less productive than Abbasid.Ħ.HRE - 2 military, 5 eco, 3 defense - Boosts dont cover the weaknesses of receiving units - maa can fight all melee units but still die to counters (mangs/xbows/handcannons). Vulnerable to better anti siege + mangonel comps. Guild hall is awkward and there are no late game eco boosts besides Keep Influence.ĥ.English - 3 military, 4 eco, 3 defense - Network of Castles boost and offensive potential (big dang radius)saves military defense score from 1 tier. Generic siege with culverin bottlenecked by landmark and cannons suck. Also bounty/hunting cabins are unreliable (map shenanigans) so eaco can be weak and the army cant be sustained.Ĥ.French - 4 military, 3 eco, 3 defense - Military has significant discounts to units like hand cannoneers and I find arbs to be busted. On defense, healing keeps are heal during combat - which is veeery good.ģ.Rus - 5 military, 3 eco, 2 defense - Siege can shoot through fortified wall and raiding parties can torch them without siege. Economy is overcomplicated, but has a lot of boosts that add up.Ģ.Abbasid - 5 military, 5 eco, 4 defense - Lots of small things for the military - camel archers have no clear counter, melee and ranged infantry get boot camp, camel riders actually beat tower elephants, field siege AND culverin AND stone walls. Some notes for the more controversial picks.ġ.Chinese - 5 military, 4 eco, 5 defense - Grenadier need no explanation, but palace guards get a mention on account of 273 hp with 1.38 speed in Ming, or 252 hp and 1.59 speed in Yuan - cant trade better than maa into direct counters (mangs/xbows/handcannons). I'll assume an ideal case where everyone has their techs/upgrades done and focus on a combined comparison of military, economy, and defense.
Could you specify a bit more? Do we consider just the power of their individual military units? Most powerful army composition available? Their potential eco and how fast they ramp up to it? How many vils they can cut for more army popspace?
