Civ Strategies: Byzantines

Top of the Tuesday to ya! Welcome to week 5 of the Civ Strategies discussion. This week we'll be talking about the Byzantines.

A friendly reminder: The goal is to have a deep insightful strategic/high level discussion. The questions below are there simply to get you thinking and the goal is to get at what the current meta is for each particular civ.

• What are the Byzantines best early, mid, and late game strategies?

• What do you think are some of the Byzantines' biggest strengths? What strength do you really try to take advantage of when playing this civ? What are the Byzantines' really good at?

• What do you think are some of the Byzantines' biggest weaknesses? What do you try to exploit when fighting against this civ? What are the Byzantines pretty bad at?

• Given their lack of bloodlines, what should they do as a pocket? Cheap camels? Or Knights? Or a mix?

Feel free to throw out anything else you feel may be relevant strategical info regarding the Byzantines. (Also, any feedback on improving the format of these discussions is very welcome)
