I usually play the developmental civs and strats, either GP or Financial. I wanna try different approach and being very warlike and aggressive. Fewer development cities and more war ones.

Which are the best ones or your favorites?

Casaer is an obvious just because of how op their special unit is.

Boudica and Cyrus seem to be 2 really strong ones. Charismatic is the best for war IMO. Not excatly sure whether Imperalistic or Aggressive is the next best. Agg seems better as early improved axemen can make a huge difference, but the Persian Immortals are awesome.

I'll definitly try both, but I am very curious to know what others use and think is the strongest. Their probably some I've never considered.

My best and favorite civilization is Babylon. You basically get one of the earliest units Archers with an added +50% on melee. And a nifty promotion to go with it.
Last game in MP I just foritfied on a hill 2 tiles away from his city completely immobilizing his progress.

It's basically a combat archer with all the defensive capabilities.
