The British Home City
The British can have a powerful economy because they can create Settlers faster than other civilizations. Early in the game you can focus your Settlers on gathering Wood for the Manor Houses so you can get more Settlers.
The British military is very powerful especially later on in the game because of two main units the Musketeers and the Hussars who can later on become upgraded to a Royal Guard level. The British Home City is also very useful because it focuses on its technology and the navy.
If you combine walls with Longbowmen and Rockets, the British can be the best civilization in terms of defense.
