I started with the Dutch a couple of years ago. I still think that was my strongest civ so far (rating 2000+), but I haven't played it for more then a year now. In 2008 I started playing India. India is now my favorite civ, because it's fun to play. There are a lot of strategies possible with india, which makes it a complex, but never boring civ.
Maybe I will learn the aztecs as well. What civs do you play?
dutch only. Haven't really tried other civs yet I'm online now btw.
@next, i totally agree, BUT this game is (for me) fresh and new. that's all. I totally admit AoM(:tt) is a way better game, but I played it so much I grew too bored of it.
