Best Civilizations for Infantry Commanders
 
Rome
There’s really only one good civilization that works well with infantry commanders and it is Rome. Of course, you can play as Japan or France if you want to take advantage of the troops health bonus. But you won’t get traits that Rome has to offer which pretty much goes well with players who wants to specialize in infantry commanders.

With Rome, you gain 5% infantry defense bonus and march speed. Which helps out a lot when pairing with infantry commanders to maximize your combat advantages. This is the civilization I highly recommended for doing infantry armies.(edited)
