Spanish
The Spanish have a strong military, with both hand infantry and cavalry.
Flexibility in early shipments from the Home City give the Spanish the
option to attack early or set up for a strong, late economy. Spanish
Home City improvements benefit soldiers, buildings and naval units.
British
Quick access to Settlers gives the British one of the strongest economies
in the game. The ability to upgrade two key units the Musketeer
and Hussar make the British military formidable in the late game.
The British Home City emphasizes improvements to technology and naval
warfare.
French
Although the French economy starts slowly, the Coureur unit, a Villager
with strong fighting skills, makes the French difficult to attack early.
The French also have the strongest cavalry unit in the game the Cuirassier.
Plus, the French are experts at allying with the Native Americans.
Dutch
Although Dutch Settlers are limited and costly, their civilization makes
up for this economic disadvantage by building Banks and generating coin
automatically. The Dutch Home City emphasizes upgrades to defense and
economy.
Russian
Starting the game with extra resources but fewer Settlers gives the
Russians the flexibility of focusing on economy or an early raid. Russian
infantry, individually weak, are trained in blocks at a faster rate,
providing the Russians with the opportunity to overwhelm their enemy
with greater numbers.
Portuguese
Starting the game with two Town Centers, the Portuguese can quickly
produce Settlers, control territory or support their allies. The Spyglass
ability allows the Portuguese to easily spy on the enemy. The Portuguese
also have a strong navy, strong light infantry and the best Dragoons
in the game.
German
The Germans have fewer Settlers and therefore a slower economy. Fortunately,
both the Settler Wagon and Uhlan cavalry spawn for free from the German
Town Center. Plus, the Germans start with the ability to send Mercenaries
from their Home City (long before other civilizations can).
Ottoman
For the Ottomans, Settlers spawn automatically from the Town Center.
Building a Mosque and conducting research help keep that Settler production
steady. Befitting their position straddling Europe and Asia, the Ottomans
have more unique units than any other civilization.
