Tips for Choosing the Best Civilization Rise of Kingdoms
When it was first released, Rise of Kingdoms used to be called Rise of Civilizations. Well, the word “Civilization” refers to “Civilization”, where RoK has a total of 12 civilizations currently in the game.
It is likely that a new civilization will be launched later. This is in line with the requests of many governors in RoK who asked for a gameplay refresh. After almost three years of waiting, Lilith finally released the grid for the launch of the newest civilization.
Let’s put that aside first. The discussion here is quite important for beginners who are just playing Rise of Kingdoms. Why? So that you don’t make mistakes like I did at the beginning of the game.
Why is that? Rise of Kingdoms is an RTS game that never ends. You can play anytime until the developer gets bored and stops all RoK servers & services.
Choose RoK’s Best Civilization From the Beginning
But you have to pay attention to what things must be done and avoided at the beginning of playing, so you don’t regret it later. Including choosing the best civilization Rise of Kingdoms since first creating an account.
Each civilization has different special units and buffs. Therefore, we have to adjust depending on the duration or how long we have played Rise of Kingdoms.
For example: at the beginning we certainly need a buff to upgrade buildings and get the best free Epic commander in the RoK game so far.
UPDATE: May 2022, Vikings Civilization is officially introduced by Lilith. We have included the details of the Vikings civilization that has just been released, please listen to the end.
1. China
Chinese civilization in Rise of Kingdoms is one of the most used by players when they first create an account. That’s because China has a 5% Building Speed buff. This building upgrade speed buff is useful in the early game.
In addition, the starting commander or free commander from the start is Sun Tzu. It was no secret that he was the best Epic-type commander in Rise of Kingdoms so far.
