Talk:Persians (Age of Empires II)/@comment-49.199.207.210-20190706015950

In Age of Empires II, most civillisations will either focus on early game aggression (Huns, Aztecs) or crush their opponents in the late game (Teutons, Goths). Most late game civillisations have diverse tech trees and powerful units, but they are vulnerable in early game, given their lack of economy bonuses.

The Persians are a rare exception. I would argue that they are effective in the early game, given that they start with slightly more food and wood, and their Town Centres train villagers and research technologies at a faster rate. They are very powerful in the late game; the Elite War Elephant and Heavy Scorpion are my preferred army composition.

Apart from lacking Bracer and Siege Engineers, I don't see where the Persians go wrong.
