Which is the best civ out of these for conquest? Assuming we are playing on continents or Terra.
Japan vs. Mongolia vs. China

Tough choices... I say Japan because of 2 UU's and the UA is crazy with Autocracy. However, if you want to be open to more science then China is great. If you want fast army & want city states dead and everyone else hates you then Mongolia is cool.
I am sure Keshliks can beat them unless they are hiding inside cities. Also China is not a completely warring nation because their UB which is a replacement of Library & UU which is a bit defensive in nature.

India?
Even though China's and Mongolia's UU's are both very good, not having to stop or pause your conquesting due to unhappiness is probably more important than any UU.

The India isn't a choice on the poll. Besides, India is made for 3-4, large, efficient cities. In other words, they are best if you want to play tall an opposed to wide. Not good for conquest at all. They are a great civ, just not for conquest.

Umm, have you played a conquest game as India? With courthouses in their current state? Yeah, didn't think so. While the actual conquering isn't any easier as India (except in the initial War Elephant rush, which works like a more mobile version of the Babylonian Bowman rush), the post-conquering phase is stronger as India than any other civ. Zero unhappiness per city down from 6, thanks to the courthouse, while still only having 0.5 unhappiness per citizen.

Interesting, China is last. I think most of us agree that they are the best overall though.
At least I do.
Japan and Mongolia are both driven for total war since their unique attributes are 100% about war.
China, on the other hand, has an economic UB which balances things more than having two warlike UU:s. It's UU is also immensely more defensive than Japan's or Mongolia's ones.

ai has no chance against massed ranged units with move after attack - go khaaaaaan!
And their UA can be used for Golden Ages, which is the only advantage it really has over the Khan.

Those double-shooting chonuku things are insane. But if it's the AI, it's always Japan that gives me grief.

Japan, along with Russia and Polynesia are among the best AIs in the game. See my other thread.

How does that thread even remotely answer the question 'which AI is best'?

I am explaining things one civ at a time. If you don't want to go into your files and check the diplomacy stats, then you don't have to. But stop complaining about my thread.
