Many people say they are playable and I think it is true but reality shows that people STILL LOVE GOING for Mongols, Brits, Khmer , FR and Persians all the time on different maps. In the last 3-4 weeks I see Tatars being much more used than before. People usually keep wishing to play the same 5-10 civs in 1v1 or 2v2 . This is why I started this thread ... and it was also a follow up on my previous thread about Bloodlines and other possible changes of the BYZ techtree.
Someone said all civs are playable and this is true but sadly you see much more Mongols and much less Slavs or Byzantines in 1vs1 matches. It is true. Ofc. a pro player can win vs anything, this we know. And I see why the Viper does not like to play vs Byzantines But I just wish they were more popular.
Truth is , I must admit it, that I myself pick several civs more often when try-harding and that it seems easier to play in 1v1 arabia with a civ benefiting from an early eco bonus.

Kalkkaro said : If answering "yes" implifies that I agree that they were not playeable before then "no" otherwise "yes". They are about as playable as before in all maps but in TG Blackforest and Arena slightly more playable now. They definitely are and were playable though, just not #1 choice.
I did not mean they were not playable before, but I think they a little more playable now or more comfortable in age IV to be exact / with the new changes/. Every civ is playable in general.
