I am an age of empires 2 conquerors player and I play online and with a couple of friends. We sometime lets other friends play with but they are beginners who i thrash and they always ask "what is the best civ?". I not always sure how to answer. I was thinking byzantines as they can apply almost any strategy but they don't really excel in anything particular so they still end up loosing badly. Another civ is the huns because they don't have to build houses, but i find this not that good for beginners as they should get use to building house for when they use other teams later. Should I tell them to use a more economic or military team?
