Our AoE 4 Civ Tier List was overdue to the need for exploring all the best options you get from each civilization or factions. So now with enough time spend on 1v1, 2v2, and other match types we have reached a conclusion. We understand not everyone agrees with this list, but this is what worked best for us.
