• Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. I’ve been on my 2v2 on HD AI, I play the Byzantine ad my ally is Britons, against Bulgarian and Lithuanians, all extreme.
• It’s Byzantines without any doubt! It’s all because of the 25% cheaper defensive units. Skirmishers - Can counter all the missile units. Pikes - Can counter all the mounted units.

Their unique unit is the Woad Raider, the fastest infantry unit which have attack bonus toward siege weapons and archers.

Chinese[edit | edit source]

With the Japanese and Mongols, the Chinese are one of the civilizations belonging to the East Asian culture. Their major advantage is the cost of development and technology. They start off the games with 6 villagers instead of 3 villagers. It is a more important attribute than it may sound, because it greatly enhances your speed to collect resources, create buildings, and to advance to the Feudal Age. They also incur cheaper cost in researching any technologies. In Feudal Age the cost of research is cheaper by 10%, 15% in Castle Age, and 20% in Imperial Age. Their unique unit is the Chu-ko-Nu, a very powerful archery unit has a very strong attack, for they fire 3 arrows at a time, but shorter range.

When playing Chinese; remember that they're best when emulating other civilization especially in the Conquerors expansion. For example if they were facing Byzantines they could act as Turks by adding more trebuchets against the defense line of Byzantines while guarding the trebuchets with heavy scorpions, arbalests, monks and some light cavalry/heavy camels or both, or if they were facing Britons they could emulate the Mongolian or Hun attacks; while against Persian; they simply employ Heavy Scorpions, Arbalests and heavy camels+light cavalry to handle the enemy. Or if they were facing Saracens they could emulate Britons by putting Arbalests, Chu Ko Nu and Monks on same line to slew heavy camels, elite mamelukes and other Saracens' range units.

Franks[edit | edit source]

All of their cavalry units have 20% more hitpoints; this is their best advantage when the game proceeds to a later stage. Their Paladins (the strongest cavalry units) in Imperial Stage is extraordinarily strong. Interestingly, their unique unit is the Throwing Axeman, a short-range throwing axe attack unit. The Throwing Axeman is a good defense unit. Stacking 8 of them in your castle can be very effective. They are also very good against buildings because of their anti-pierce armor, which makes them resist arrows. A very effective combination is a 15 Throwing Axeman and 25 Paladin army, because you have the tanks/damage dealers (Paladins) then the Throwing Axemen annihilate opponent buildings.

Goths[edit | edit source]

Team Bonus: Monks heal 50% faster

Unique Tech: Logistica – Cataphracts do trample damage

Unique Unit: Cataphract (Anti-Infantry Cavalry)

The Cataphract is the unit with the fewest weaknesses. They have a bonus attack against infantry units, making them an ideal defence force. Despite having a disadvantage when it comes to facing Heavy Camels and Mamelukes, the Cataphracts are effective against all units, making them a force to be reckoned with. Still, keeping some infantry with them would be wise seeing as Halberdiers can still be a threat to Cataphracts.

The Persian War Elephant will be able to defeat Cataphracts with ease thanks to their high attack and HP. Just make sure not to attack with less than 10. A large force of cataphracts can take down 5 war elephants without much difficulty, especially if there are several castles and monks in the general vicinity. Archers, Hand Cannoneers and Scorpions also have a slight advantage thanks to a lower pierce armour on the Cataphracts part.

Tips:

“Logistica: Cataphracts cause trample damage”

Also adds +6 to the Cataphract bonus against infantry (9 to 15 for non-elite/12 to 18 for elite); a fully upgraded Elite Cataphract kill a FU Gothic Halberdier in only two hits.

It is worth noting Cataphracts/Elite Cataphracts got 12/16 bonus defense against anti-cavalry/anti-unique units, making them immune against non-heavy Camels, Mamelukes, Samurais…and only taking small bonus damage from Heavy Camels and Pikemen.

Though it’s not a good idea to face large groups of Halberdiers with FU Elite Cataphracts as they still suffer from 16 bonus damage from halbs, go with Archers/Skirms or Hand Cannoneers to deal with them.

“Elite Cataphract upgrade: Upgrades your Cataphracts and lets you create Elite Cataphracts, which are stronger and better armored”

Both got exactly the same base armor: 2/1.
