Britannia Gameplay Information

Britannia Gameplay Information

Summary:

Britannia occupy the modern British Isles as well as one town in Belgica. Hibernia presents a potential conquest target to the west, but going for either Gaul or Germania will be more effective in the long run. The units to take out either Gaul or Germania are there, it is merely a case of using them.


Overall Unit Summary:

Basic British infantry is the same as Gallic infantry. There are a few interesting units though; Woad Raiders have a high attack and morale, although they are unarmoured. Head Hurlers throw the severed heads of enemies soaked in quicklime to cause crippling irritation, this translates to a huge ranged attack. They aren’t too shabby in melee either. Britannia are the only faction to completely lack cavalry, instead they have chariots. British Heavy Chariots are excellent heavy chariots, extremely strong against cavalry and able to charge infantry. British Light Chariots are chariot archers, allowing Britannia to shoot slower infantry formations to pieces while staying at range. They are more fragile than Heavy Chariots though and both will die almost immediately if they are bogged down in enemy infantry.
