Neutral civs are good to start as because you can add units of other factions easily without them being more than slightly grumpy about your alignment. | Neutral civs are good to start as because you can add units of other factions easily without them being more than slightly grumpy about your alignment. | ||

Frostling cities get bonus mana. Frostling units are pretty universally awful, Yetis are the only unit that can take a punch, and their ultimate unit is embarrassingly bad. At least their scout cavalry isn't slowed by forests. | Frostling cities get bonus mana.

Elf cities get bonus mana. Elves are awesome, they get the best tier 1 archer, a tier 2 mind control unit, and all their units are lightning fast, immune to forest terrain penalties, and heavily resistant to magic attacks. Their ultimate is a little lackluster, but the game probably won't last that long if you're playing elves right. | Elf cities get bonus mana.

Archon cities get bonus research. Archons get lots of holy attacks and holy champion specialties. They are all holy resistant, most of them are holy immune. They have the only unit in the game that can resurrect the dead permanently. When fighting an evil faction they are absolutely lethal, when fighting against neutral or good units, they're just average. | Archon cities get bonus research.

Goblin cities get bonus population growth. Goblins are the Halflings of Team Evil. They are slow, weak, frail, and overreliant on their poison attacks to even the odds. Their units are all cave comfortable, which can be nice. If you pick goblins, pray you don't have to fight the poison-resistant cave-dominating dwarves, or you won't be able to rely on your few advantages. | Goblin cities get bonus population growth.
