Civilizations

By this point you have already chosen a civilization. Early on it does not decide much — play calmly. Do not stress about “the perfect pick”: focus on city growth, commanders, and economy.

What matters

• All civilization bonuses get used over time — nothing is “wasted forever”.
• The only thing that can hold you back is stat bonuses (attack / defense / health and similar).
• At Town Hall level 10 you get the first free civilization change.

War pick — France

From long player experience: in war, most experienced players prefer France.

Only France has +20% troop healing speed. That bonus alone saves a huge pile of healing speedups.

Alliance tip

Unsure about a switch — ask in alliance chat. R4/R5 will tell you when it is worth the gems.
