Beginners Civ Build Order Guide

Hi all,

​

I've had a go at putting together a SPREADSHEET which lists all the Civilisations, their Spirit of the Law ratings for eco/defence/infantry/archers etc., and up to three basic build orders that would make sense for each civ.

​

I know that the BO you go for depends on the enemy's civ, the map and your area of the map, but this is based on a standard 1v1 Arabia all-things-being-equal match: for the civ you've been given, what BO would be a solid choice or make sense? They are not put in any particular order, and any blanks are deliberately left that way (likely because I couldn't think of another suitable BO) or didn't think they needed one. For example, Franks have only got 2 choices, but I don't want to add BO's for the sake of it; you're probably not going to go MAA > Archers with Franks, you know?

​

I'm only a beginner at this game, and this is aimed at that level and I thought others might find this useful. That said, if any more experienced players have any thoughts/feedback on this, please let me know.
