What do you think is the best/worst evil civilization in the game so far?

What do you think is the best/worst evil civilization in the game so far?

the best might be Babs or Assyrians the worst probably Greeks or Persians.

Besieged........

Romans and Syrians are good when you have the right cards, especially capture cards. I think for worst  its Persians and maybe Philistines, only because if you negate banding they are pretty useless I say.

Not Phillys, they have Goliath

Notice that Greeks only have the best EE in the game called A-Bom so I would not consider them the worst. Paired with Demons they can be very close to the best IMHO.

Greeks are fantastic. A-Bomb is insane, and Antiochus' ability owns all. Plus, Winged Leopard is immune to White (TGT), and Goat with Horn kills FBTN. They also work very well with orange.

What? Phillies don't band...Phillies are by far one of the best around. With just 4 characters, they are extremely potent, and don't need much back up to wreck havoc. They are recurrable too.

Syrians are the worst. Too much protection from capture, and Namaan is their only good character. Maybe they'll make a comeback this year, but they're really bad. Persians are down there, but I like Persian Presidents too much.

I know Philistine are good with four characters but what if your opponents negates banding abilities you are left with hardly anythng. The best combo is Fallen Warrior and Overwhelmed by Philistines, if they have negated evil banding.

Syrians are good because grey has all those capture cards that go well with Raiders Camp so how are they the worst?

It's called that there is to much capture protection. Philistines don't use banding btw.

Then how do you explain Lahmi, Saph, and Ishbibenob who all say band to a warrior class philistine? Answer that!

I've never seen any of those evil characters used in a philistine defense. Right now we are talking a defense like Goliath, 12fg, Armorbearer, and garrison. Lahmi, Saph, Ishbibenob will all be remade to black most likely and will probably not have band abilities. I should rephrase as main philistine defenses these past two years didn't use banding.

Best? No clue, I have too many biases towards Egyptians and Herods to answer that

Worst: Persians, Not enough back up.

Philistine Priests and Fallen Warrior can also be thrown in, if you want a more balanced deck. When we talk civilizations, we generally refer to them by brigade, so the black ones are the ones that matter.

The best combo for Phillies is Falolen Warrior + Bringing Fear + Wrath of Satan. I used it 3(?) times at nationals to destroy all of my opponent's heroes, leaving them with nobody to use Chariots on.

Did you forget overwhelmed by philistines? It is a stable in my philistine defense along with givin fallen warrior horses so I can draw and play next enhancement. Also overwhelmed is a instant win against all purple offenses.

Fallen Warrior is already low numbers he doesn't need horses, horses go on Phil and Gary or 12FG

Why did you make essentially the exact same thread as Mine(just evil orientated).

I wanted to know whot civilizations people thought were strong. I had no intention of copying your thread. Besides your's is all brigades and mine is civilizations they are two totally different things.

Worst: Persians, Not enough back up.

What are you talking about? They have:

(Evil): Haman (BL), Haman (BU), Haman (CL), Haman (CU), Haman (L), Haman (P), Haman (UL), Persian Presidents (RA), Prince of Persia (Pr), The Bear (RA), and Zeresh (Pi)

and haman, haman, more haman. some more haman. moar haman. cant get enough haman. Cant stop the haman train!

haman isnot enough to stop your opponent's heroes all the time
