Having a list of the best civilizations (civilizations) in AoE 2 can help you a lot, so here is our list. This game allows you to choose between 37 different civilizations. But not all of them are created equal. Judging by the different maps that you can find, some civilizations just sweep others off the face of the earth. This pun might not have been the best, but this tier list definitely should. So here are all the civilizations ranked for Age of Empires 2.

The list above is based on the general usage of each civilization, whether they are on land, water, or nomad maps. Thus, S-tier civilizations are not determined only if they are useful on all three types of maps. Rather, they are determined based on the average of all three cards. There is a possibility that a civilization is bad in water, but if it is good both on land and on nomad maps, it will increase its rating. This was only one case, the same is true for other cards.
This sums up this tiered list of the best civilizations in Age of Empire (AoE) 2. If you liked this list or found it useful, I suggest you check out our Tiered Lists section as well.
