great, i read natives have less hp in buildings, what about that?

[Feng Min]

Dutch and Japan

[Rhalius]

Dutch. Two factories and a lot of banks can generate a lot of resources within your walls, and there's always farms for food too.

[Balwulf Skyshadow]

French are great for that as they now can get 4 forts if im not mistaken. and upto 13 outpost towers.

[Drakenden]

French and Swedes can both get 4 forts, Inca is another good option (similar to Aztecs, but have access to fort-like structures instead).

[Torgo]

Dutch. It's a little rough in the beginning but once you get the banks going, you don't have to worry about gold and basically have unlimited mercenaries.

so dutch you want to turtle ur base.
Age 1 split ur vills 5 food 1 wood, build 1 house and queue all vills to food, call in 3 vill shipment, age up with 400 wood, change 3-4 vills from food to wood, and build barrack as soon as possible. Build market and get gangsaw upgrade.
Call in dutch banks cost less shipment as soon as u hit 2, and then build 2 banks and start queuing skirms, keep building banks, Call in 700 wood crates and then build the rest of your banks while queing more skirms.

Use the skirms to scout ahead and just pick off inf units while kiting back. This tilts the ♥♥♥♥ out of them, use ur envoy as scouting tool aswell. The tight formation in ur base should make defending it easier as well.

After that cards should be church improvements (to get more banks), inf train faster, inf upgrades, cav upgrades, and medecine. The rest is up to you. This should get you going and ive been dominating ranked with this strat, rushers get so mad when u kite their units.

Tell me about india

actually the best turtle civ is china in my opinion, well placed village can provide early semi-free tower which need garrison villager for just in case, build tower bside village to form a well surrounding defense line which can provide good defense while boosting ur economy with tie with Russian which provide -15% villager training time, build wall between them if wanna save some wood cost(separate them wisely, make sure you can transform them into gate), it does provide good enough defense from villager hunt and build another layer of wall later for strategic usage(great wall card does help you buy alot of time unless they come with mass artillery, 15k hp wall, same with fort in campaign), hold the line with minimum investment of banner armies and hand mortars(this one you should adjust accordingly coz AI and human play different style, some ppl would try to siege with mass army so you should produce more for defense if opponent never attack for too long time) until you have 99 villagers for maximum speed of farming, then you can think about either win with mass producing armies or keep rushing to imperial age for max speed of food/gold income and better quality of banner army

there is other civs is great at defense, native civs for example, every barrack is a tower in fact but these civ getting less advantage in late game compare to european civs. russian defensive playstyle is kinda strange coz they're good at rushing with strelet or villager hunt which destroy opponent economy but getting weak in late game coz their unit mostly come with lower hp compare to others. China in the other hand, maybe seems weak but not really, with 10% cheaper cost and 20 extra population, that does make different in late game coz thing only strucked if you play the cheesy way, hand mortars seems kinda lame but still very effective for siege with that range, and its also an anti-artillery, low cost and 1 pop artillery with mortar range, what do you expect, build 20 of them still doesnt feel burden while you can siege enemy with wide angle, buy woods from market for just in case coz its demn cheap at late game
