1. A question about your play style to start things off: Which random map(s) do you prefer to play most often? (You may pick more than one)
Arabia | Black Forest | Nomad | Water maps (eg. Islands, Archipelago) |
Full random, scenarios, or no preference |
Mayans and Magyars are one of the best civilizations where you can just build 2 or 3 units and just be effective in general, Pikemen and Archers for Mayans, Light Cavalry and Cavalry Archers for Magyars. Not the 'right' way to play AoE2, but if you are looking for a civilization just to quickly get into and be somewhat effective, these are the. Aoestats aggregates the latest ranked matches for Age of Empires II and provides in-depth data and statistics on a civilization basis; stats include: win rate, play rate, win rate vs. Game length, and more! Answer (1 of 2): The answer to your question depends on a lot of things, especially whether your strategy is to boom (economy), rush (early attack), or turtle (build up a huge army behind walls).
2. Which rushing strategies do you want your civ to thrive at? (choosing 2-3 favourites will give the best quiz results)
Dark Age Rush with Militia (Drush) | Feudal Rush with Archers |
Feudal Rush with Scouts | Feudal Galley Rush |
Castle Rush with Knights | Castle Rush with Cavalry Archers |
I often wait until imperial age without attacking. |
3. Would you prefer an eco bonus that increases gather rate or a discount on buildings/techs/units?
Increased gather rate (eg. faster food collection)
No preference, but I demand a good eco bonus of some sort
No preference, and I'd be ok without an eco bonus if there was a good tech tree
4. Which age would you say you do most of your fighting in?
Castle Age
Late Imperial Age
5. Tech Tree Questions now: How important to you is the spear/pike line?
I don't care about it at all and rarely use them | Pikes are important, but I'm ok if there's no halberdiers | Halberdiers are a must, but it's ok if they aren't fully upgraded |
Very strong halberdiers are a must (all blacksmith techs and/or a civ bonus for infantry) |
I don't care about it at all and rarely use them | Elite Skirmisher is important to me, but it doesn't have to be fully upgraded (eg. no bracer) |
Fully-Upgraded elite skirmishers are a must |
I don't care about archers and rarely use them | Crossbows in castle age are important, but I don't care about arbalests |
I want to have arbalests available |
I rarely use the swordsman line, so it's ok if I don't get champions | I want my civ to have access to champions |
I want great champions (fully upgraded or with a civ bonus to help them) |
I'm ok not using knights | I like using knights in castle age, but I can live without the paladin upgrade in the late game | I like to use paladins, so I want my civ to have them |
I love paladins, and I want them fully-upgraded. A civ bonus for them would be great too! |
10. Time to take a stand. How do you feel about eagle warriors?
I'm open to the idea of using them instead of cavalry (If you know you prefer Meso-American civs, pick this answer and skip to question 14) | I much prefer to have cavalry |
I'm ok with just scouts, or using eagle warriors | I'd like to have the Light Cavalry upgrade, but I'm willing to sacrifice having Hussars |
It's important to me that I have Hussars |
12. How important is the bloodlines tech to you (+20 cavalry HP)?
I can live without it | It's important to me that I have it |
I prefer a civilization that DOESN'T have them | I like having them available |
I use them quite a bit, and would prefer a civilization that gets camel bonuses |
14. Is water dominance important to you at any stage of game?
I want a strong galley rush, but I don't care about my late game navy
I want a strong post-imperial navy, but I don't galley rush
I want both a strong galley rush AND strong post-imperial navy
I can live without hand canoneer and bombard cannon | I want hand canoneer, but I don't care about bombard cannon | I want bombard cannon, but I don't care about the hand canoneer |
I need both units in my late-game army |
Yes. I want the option to make fortified walls
I never use monks, except maybe to get relics | I would prefer lots of the monk techs |
I love using monks, and would prefer a civ bonus and almost all the techs available |
I never use anything beyond the watch tower | Keeps are important to me, but bombard tower isn't | I like to use both keeps and bombard towers |
I like to use both keeps and bombard towers,and a civ bonus toward towers would be great! |
19. How do you feel about the onager line? (AOC/HD version where they DON'T cut trees)

Mongonel is all I ever need | I would like at least up to the onager, but I don't care about siege engineers (+1 range to onagers) | It's important I have the onager AND siege engineers |
It's important to me that the civilization I play has Siege Onager |
It's important I have the Capped Ram, but I don't care about the Siege Ram
It's very important to me that the civilization I play has Siege Ram

I rarely use it. The basic scorpion is all I ever need
I like the option of having heavy scorpion for some games
I want to have the best heavy scorpions on the field, including a civ bonus/unique tech for them
The Feudal/Castle age techs are important, but I don't care about all the imperial age ones. Unit matchups are more important
I'd prefer a civ that's missing 2 blacksmith techs at most
I want ALL the blacksmith techs, and would prefer a civ that gets them at a reduced cost
I don't want architecture (+10% building HP/ +3 buildings armour) or hoardings (+1000 castle HP). They're a waste of tech tree space | I don't care either way. I may get them in the late game if I can, but I wouldn't miss them if I didn't have them |
Building HP is important, and I prefer to have those techs available |

24. How do you feel about the stone and gold shaft mining techs?
I don't like to get either tech | I like stone shaft mining (+15% stone collection rate), but I don't care about gold shaft mining | I like gold shaft mining (+15% gold collection rate), but I don't care about stone shaft mining |
I would prefer a civ that had both |
25. (Last question) How important are the final wood and food upgrades to you?
I don't really care if I get access to them | I'd like access to at least one of them in a long game |
I would greatly prefer having access to both in a long time |
