Which civilization is better in Civilization 5 and why?

Generally speaking, civilizations like China, Persia, Babylonia, Goryeo or Poland are all good, and their development will not be affected by any map environment. Several indigenous civilizations in the Americas are also very useful. If you just like fighting, you can try conquering races such as Mongolia, Rome, and Assyria.

Beginners are advised to use China. The characteristics are simple and crude. The special units and buildings are available early and are practical enough, making it very suitable for getting started. Other countries are often very picky about maps or have harsh play styles, so you can try them after you become familiar with them.
