Which is the best civilisation in Age of empires?

What do you thin is the best civilisation in Age Of Empires? To answer this question, let us first understand the best points of all the civilisations.
There are mainly three types of civlisations in Age of empires. These are infantry civilisations, Cavalry Civilisations and Archer civilisations. Age of Empires is so build that no civilisation is best in this game. It depends on what the opposition's civilisation is. For example Saracens are good against cavalry so if the opposition is huns, then Saracens have a great advantage against them. But Saracens are weak against archers, so is weak against archer civilisations such as britons, mayans and chinese. If it comes to infantry civilisation, they are generally weak against archers, so better keep some onagers with infantry. But if you are goths, they are the best civilisation against archers. But if you are goths they are weak against other infantry civilisations like Aztecs and Japanese. Generally people thinks that Koreans is the best civilisation, but let me tell you that they are very weak against Gothic unit- Huskarl and eagle warriors. But what if you are neither goths nor Aztecs, do not worry, just make Siege Onagers against War Wagons and you will get an easy success against War Wagons.
Some people think that Tuetons is the best one, as it is very very strong against infantry. A unique fact is that after full upgrades, 5 Elite Tuetonic knights are enought for 50 Helberdiers. So you can calculate its power against infantry, but again they are weak against archers.
Some think that Byzantines are the best, but they are weak against archers so any archer civilisation can beat them.
So we come to a conclusion that No civilisation is best on its own, it depends on what the opposition's civilisation is.
As far as I am concerned, I take koreans if there is no goths in opposition or byzantines or goths. This is because these are the three Best Civilisations that I think we have in Age of Empires.
