Evolution of best civ?

Does anyone have an overview/timeline of which civ was the best up to a certain patch/update?

E.g. AoK on initial release Franks were best AoC release: Huns take over the crown AoC the Forgotten: Mayans are now number 1 Etc

I’m asking since it always amazes me that Huns were so popular back in the day, so I guess they were considered the ‘best’ in those years.
