===Interesting facts===
 
Britannia often go to war with germania. Whereas the Germans start with a big empire, the Britons pose a big challenge, thanks to their often large armies. Gaul will often ally against or with Britannia. The outcome of these negotiations can change the outcome of the war. Many. Time, Britons at first attack Germania Inferior first. In Barbarian Invasion, Dal Riada belongs to the Celts, and the rest of mainland Britain belongs to the Western Roman Empire. Belgica also us in the Romans' hands.

Britannia (RTW Faction)
Britannia Faction Symbol-Vanilla.png
Name: Britannia
From Game: Rome: Total War
Culture: Barbarian
Playable:


Britannia are one of the playable factions in Rome: Total War. They can be played by successfully completing either a long or short campaign with any of the Roman factions, by destroying them in the Imperial Campaign or by editing descr_strat.txt (more information on which can be found here).

Game Play

Starting Position

Brittania begins in the British Isles. (Click to enlarge)

The Britons start in the British Isles, controlling the entire island of Britain. However Ireland is controlled by the Rebels.

Their cities are:

  • Londinium: Briton Capital; Region - Britannia Superior
  • Eburacum: Briton Town; Region - Brittania Inferior
  • Deva: Briton Town; Region - Tribus Silurii
  • Samarobriva: Briton Town; Region - Belgica

Victory Conditions

  • Long Campaign: Hold 50 regions including Rome
  • Short Campaign: Hold 15 regions and outlast or destroy Gaul

Units

Briton General's Bodyguard.

Unique Units

British Light Chariots: Can be recruited from Blacksmith. These men are chariot archers, fast and mobile, and are deadly against enemy archers when in cantabrian circle.

British Heavy Chariots: Can be recruited from Weaponsmith. These units are the Briton's only recruitable non-general heavy cavalry unit. The fact that they are chariots means that they can shred enemy cavalry and demoralize other enemy units. Watch out for enemy phalanxes, however.

Head Hurlers : Can be recruited from Sacred grove of Andrasta. Brutaly effective armour piercing missile attack. In a pinch their melee attack is good enough to charge them into an enemy line but said enemy should rout quickly as they have low defense. Highly mobile because they dont wear armour they are vulnerable to archers and must come close to the enemy if they want to throw missiles.

Woad Warriors : Can be recruited from Shrine to Andrasta. Woad warriors follow this simple rule: attack is the best defence. Excellent attack but very poor defence.

Very cheap unit that can disengage from an enemy if the enemy begins to surrond you.
