Overall, its a well balanced game, and you could pick any civilization ,each have strong/weak points. The only obvious thing is if its a water filled map, Vikings should be the best choice

 

Agreed, the Viking longboats are deadly, build up 6-8 of them and watch them decimate on water levels. If they send any non longboats to intercept them, aim them all at once at it and there gone in a second (and then resume your destruction).

 

I usually send 30 longboats, becuase if the enemy sends 20-30 fireships against your 8 longboats you are screwed. 30 longboats fully upgraded can just barely outrun fireships though. But if they get fast fire ships, you gotta focus fire, and then you take even casualties. Too bad for them fire ships cost a bit more than longboats.
