are the french the worest civ for treaty why ?? and why russian can bit them?(which unit helps most ??)

thx

if the computer are doing it I would rate it like this (strongest to weakest):

 Ottomans, British, Germans, Portugese, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Souix, Iroquois, Aztec(no cav or artillery= gatling gun+ horse artillery kills)

swinehoot:

ports are an average civ, they dont have any cheap econ tricks or army tricks. Have you ever seen british livestock trading done? German ulahan pop bug is manageable, and they have the strongest single player econ in the game. Most people are not good with german army, and that is why their winpercent is down in treaty, and also german are tricky to boom with, most people are not good wiht their boom with no booming cards, and may send military cards first instead of econ. With out the pop bug they would be atleast more manageable. If you look at patch 1.08 you can see how they got weakened. Both aztec and dutch have a strong army advantage, and eagle runner knights and jaguar prowler knights are real hard to stop. [Edited on 1/8/2007]

 the main prob with how most people play german is that they use dopps.

also only use WW defensively, ie protecting LI from melee cav or mortars. talking of cannons only use mortars, or culv if ur opp really is cannon whoring. if they have low hp cannons like horse gun u can use WW as culvs. but ww pop cost is so high that its kinda impossible to be offensive with alot of them.

but german was always my fave civ as a trt player. i wnna play some trt again just to use ger.

 tell u what swinehoot i have twc (not tad) wanna play some 1v1 trt i only would play vs good player and no game vs lame civ (russia fr)? i know ur 1 of the better trt players (tho ive never played with u). lemme know PM me here if u want

Germans and ports are the strongest germans have great econ and ports spam hals which protect organ guns they dont need a good econ.
