I think Bits are a top 5 civ for lategame/ treaty. They have a strong eco and have great husars muskets and can mass cannons to back it up. But I do agree that their early game (unless some expert is playing them) isnt much.

Japan to Britain is another example. Overly powerful muskets, powerful bows that upgrade to skirm levels, expensive houses that boost your economy. What European civ is India most like?

Brits just lack speed, plain and simple. Anyone opposing you knows they have to rush, and playing rush defense is hard. 70% of ESO play is two players trying to bring off a rush faster than the other guy. Most games are over when one enemy wipes out the other enemy's beginning army, and proceeds to head into his town.
Brits also are seriously hampered by the 'noob' problem. The Brits are highly popular, especially by players who are new to the game, or don't spend their time trolling the forums looking for new strats, build orders, unit stats, gathering rates, etc.
