I never played AOE. I started with AOE2 with a demo I got in PC Gamer. I heard AOE has more than 3 nations. I’m guessing its pretty standard like AOE2 where they all have bonuses and such?
They are called civilizations. Yes, each has it’s own bonuses and lack of certain technologies. There are 16 civs total.
There are 5 different architecture types (how buildings look etc) Egyptian, Greek, Babylonian, Asian, Roman. Or at least, that’s how I remember them 
For example, Egyptian, Assyrian, Sumerian all use the same architecture, but vary quite a bit in bonuses and technologies.
There’ll be a tech tree in the game now that will make it easier to find out what each civ has.

these civs have bonus but don’t have unique units.

Nations Civs does it really matter? You knew what I was talking about.
