@Mongolia: Yeah, the city-state boost isn't overly great in general. In both games I talked about I never touched a city state. I had a whole host of them allied with me in fact. Probably the best use for it -which to be fair isn't at all bad- is to take a few city-states while you're still fairly weak and wouldn't be able to take a city otherwise. Just one or two though; not enough to make everyone angry, but enough to be a nice boost to your growth. The movement bonus though is one of the factors that helps make Mongolia such a force. It's a little thing, but -excluding rough terrain and certain units (Longbow)- it gives them the perfect amount to pull of hit-and-runs that take them make out of ranged attack and movement range of most units. I really do suggest you play as them again. You haven't truly had fun as Mongolia unit you have two hordes going at once, curb-stomping two civilizations at once, like I did. I suggest playing the Mongolia scenario. Keep playing it again and again, and by the time you've figured out how to win it will have taught you how to play as Mongolia. @Nukes: See, I've came up with this dream of building a civilization surround by a circle of nuclear destruction. Anything tries to settle within my range? I nuke it out of existence. I, however, will slowly expand into the wasteland and make it habitable again. And with that expansion I will also expand the wasteland zone further outwards. No idea how it will work in practice, but I just like the idea. I think Russia would work best for it because of their UA. |

I suppose so. In that game I think I tried taking Kyzlkyzl but I was always under constant attack by the overwhelming amount of barbarians in the region too. Oh well. But yeah, I'll probably try using them again sometime, maybe on a pangea map with lots of flat terrain just to see how many civs I can conquer in time. I've played as the Huns before, who I think are relatively similar, so I think I have an idea on how to use them properly once I get the right techs. @Nukes: The main issue with that is having uranium in your terrirtory and getting to the point where you can use it without already being surrounded by other civs too. I can't say I haven't thought of it though, and I did something similar in the game where I nuked the Aymara. After building the 12 Districts I just continually nuked the surrounding area until it was complete wasteland and then sat back and got a technological victory. |

@Mongolia: I haven't ever played as the Huns but you are correct. The main difference is that The Huns start strong and then weaken for the rest of the game, whereas Mongolia building into their power mid-game. It's for that reason the I personally feel Mongolia is generally better. The Huns have to hit the ground running to build up and army and use it before they loose it. Mongolia gets time to build itself up so that as soon as they have the technology it's go-time. @Nukes: Hence why I said Russia is probably the best candidate. And I can't imagine being surrounded by neighbors being too big of a problem... :rolleyes: |

Yeah. The Huns aren't all that good IMO because you have to conquer a whole bunch of lands before you get outdated and though they're good at that there's only so much you can do before you can even embark to the next continent over. The Mongols on the other hand might not be as good at outright stomping down other civs within a turn or two, but they have the advantage that they can build themselves up quite well and have a more stable economy and whatnot to attack. In my hun game I just set it to be a tiny pangea with just Shaka, Montezuma, and I. It was glorious indeed. @Nukes: Heh, very true indeed. I guesss it'd also be easier if you start your game in one of the later eras instead of from the start. |

Glorious. Speaking of Montezuma, the Aztecs are a MUCH better early-game power in terms of long-term viability. Maybe not as instantly powerful as the Huns, but at least their unique features remain relevant for the rest of the game. I remember rolling tanks north over city after city the time I played as them.

![]() This is the tier list. The X axis is versatility and the Y axis is how powerful they are at what they're doing. Statistically, Mongolia is actually worse than The Huns. ![]() Granted, whoever made this didn't play every civ, as Carthage is actually ridiculously good in some cases because it can get way more money than pretty much any other civ. |

So? Even doing a sub-par job of what they're doing, what Mongolia is doing is better than what everyone else is doing. ![]() In time I will defend the true power of the horde. |

Yeah, the Aztecs are quite nice. Not over powered like the huns, but they're useful for protecting their forests and jungles, and have the potential to also go for science (their jungles plus their floating gardens) or for culture by harvesting barbarians. I like them a lot actually. I only played as them once though, but I was on a team with Shaka so it was epic. |

The Aztecs get bonuses from pretty much everything because they spawn in jungles, their UU heals when it makes a kill, and they get culture for kills, but the problem is none of their bonuses are "great" like Babylon's UA or Arabia's camel archers. They're all just okay which makes the Aztecs a good civ if you know what you're doing. |

Actually camel archers are the best UU. They were okay originally but in BNW are buffed ten fold.

The thing with the Huns is you have to conquer a lot of land before you obsolete and you essentially become a sitting duck. I, for one, have never really been able to accomplish this. As far as I'm concerned, from my personal experience, the Aztecs and the Assyrians are far better early-game warmongerers, due to simply having more versatility. Also, yeah, from my personal experience, Camel Archers have far more to offer than Keshiks. Mind you, Keshiks are really good. It's just that I think the Camel Archer's outright brute force far outclasses the Keshiks' boosts for Great General production and extra EXP. As far as I'm concerned, Ethiopia will always be my love. <3 EDIT: also, "yes" is the only thing I can say to that revelation on the universe's nature. Just "yes". |

You're forgetting though that Keshiks also have one more movement point. When you're making hit-and-run attacks that is very important. Sure, you've got more power with the Camels, but they'll be taking hits while the Keshiks stay untouched. And don't underestimate that experience boost. Combine promotions with Khans and the power gap is significantly less. I'm not saying Camel Archers aren't good, rather that Keshiks come out just a bit better when it all adds up. |
