Each Civilization in Age of Empires Mobile will give you bonuses in resource gathering, troop defense bonus, training speed, and special units. Currently, there are 4 civilizations available in Age of Empires Mobile: Chinese, French, Byzantines, and Romans.
What civilization you will pick in Age of Empires Mobile depends on your in-game goal and what commanders you have. Currently, all civilizations in Age of Empires Mobile are equal, but if you are a new player, then feel free to pick Chinese civilization. The reason is that you will get 8 villagers capacity. You can activate various buffs and produce more resources with villagers, which is critical for new players. When you reach the endgame, you can select a civilization based on the heroes you have.
For example, if you have a majority of heroes that are designed for Swordsmen then you want to pick French civilization. The reason is that you will use a lot of Swordsmen units, so French civilization will give you Swordsmen defense, training speed, and special Swordsmen units.
If developers implement additional buffs for civilizations, we will update the guide. For now, all civilizations in the Age of Empires Mobile are the same in power, and the buffs that they are giving are nothing significant that will impact your gameplay severely. Choose civilization based on the types of units that you are using the most or based on a design you like. If you are a new player, take Chinese civilization.
