(For reference by “variety” I mean in terms of units and strategies that are viable or how different/unique each game is.)

You could have added, which map is your favorite.

What do you mean? As in do you prefer Arabia on teams v 1v1 or something ?

For example Arabia is a fun map in 1v1 but awful in team game (always the same Archer civ flank and cav civ pocket, games end most of the time in feudal age or early castle age)

I’m surprised by the roughly even split of which game mode offers more variety. I see so many people complaining about team games just being knights and xbow that I was expecting that to be more one sided.

Anyone got any more insight into that one ?

Late game trade, expensive UUs and SO and such

As far as “variety” goes, Nomad and closed map TGs might offer more variety but Arabia TGs are the worst, no variety. All the games are archer/scouts into crossbow/knights into arbalest/paladin meta plays.

Yup, especially those “Team Map” like Lombardia, Amazon Tunnel which I can’t say Lombardia is a closed map. Those map need whole team to decide whether do a team wall or do a early aggression, variety are exist there. You can find that Franks is in a relatively low win rate spot

Top 5 civ in Lombardia

Top 5 civ in amazon tunnel

That is more bread and butter than rule.
