Era of Conquest: Best Civilization in the Game

Choosing the best civilization in Era of Conquest will give you some unique boosts, as well as a guaranteed starting hero to develop.

But what is the best civilization in the game? That’s what we’re going to discuss today. And we’ll start with a quick overview in case you’re in a hurry and you don’t want to check all the in-depth details.

The best civilization in Era of Conquest is Germanic (as you get Hermann, one of the best 5-star heroes in the game, as well as solid boosts), followed by British, Korean or Japanese.

The truth is that the differences between the civilizations are not that huge in Era of Conquest, the main being the actual aspect of the buildings (each civilization having its own style), as well as the different starting hero.

Yes, each has a bonus offered to resource production, but in the long run and in reality, this doesn’t really change things much.

So… how to choose the best civilization in Era of Conquest?

As I said, the best civilizations in the game are Germanic, Korean, British, Japanese or Russian.

All of these have one thing in common: they offer a boost in the production of two different types of resources, as opposed to a bigger boost offered by the others.

Also, Germanic is the best because of the starting hero – Hermann, who is an amazing defensive hero.

Now we should go a bit more in depth with each of the civilizations you can choose in the game, their unique bonuses and especially their unique heroes to know exactly what to choose.
