From 600's all the way to 1000's Everyone Plays With 4-5 Civilizations And Devs Do Nothing About It

I know because over months I came from 600's to 950's and all the civs that I have seen: Franks, Huns, Goths, Magyars, Burgundians.

Thats it. Nowadays I started seeing Byzantine trash rush as well. Sometimes I come across Incans, sometimes I see Persian douche but 9 out of every 10 game it is these civilizations.

Worst thing is that you know what they are going to attempt but it is so powerful that you just cant prevent it. Especially with Franks and Magyars. Only way is for you to play with these civs as well. What is the point of still releasing civilizations if we are going to play with so few?

When the situation is like this I honestly dont understand why developers keep the civ balance this way.

Now before someone says they only work in low elos, well low elo players are players too and not everyone has to be very competitive. The game begs for a balance adjust and developers simply ignore it and do what they do.

For example how are Turks supposed to counter a Byzantine trash+crossbow rush? Janissaries dont work, horse archers dont work, light cav dont work. Mangonels dont upgrade, skirmishers dont upgrade.

Why? It doesnt have a historical reasoning neither and it is frustrating as hack gameplay wise as well. Why dont developers just stop insisting and dress this ever bleeding wound after all?
