'''BRITISH CHARIOTS''': There are 2 types of British chariots, light and heavy. Light chariots are great missile units but are destroyed very quickly in melee. Heavy chariots are great for cutting through enemy lines and have high attack but almost no defence which means they are dead if they stop. They are also very expensive. Both types of chariots can easily demolish enemy morale causing a rout if just one unit of chariots charges into the rear of a nearby enemy. But keep in mind that they can run over your own troops when charging.

'''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.
−
'''DRUIDS''' : Britons share this unit with Gauls. It can be recruited by building a certain shrine.
 
−
Druids use chanting to raise morale of nearby allied troops while lowering it for enemies.
 
−
 
 
−
'''HEAD HURLERS''' : The Head Hurlers are a fierce unit who throw the heads of fallen foes at the enemy once dipped in quicklime. This not only causes damage, but massive amounts of damage to enemy morale.
 
  
−
'''WOAD WARRIORS''' : Extra powerful swordsmen covered in war paint that causes fear in enemy troops.
+
'''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.

Possible strategy with Britons is to expand into Gauls territory and eliminate their threat while preparing for a war with Romans.

'''Woad Warriors''' : Can be recruited from Shrine to Andrasta.

Another strategy is to attack Germania before they become too powerful before conquering Gaul.

Woad warriors follow this simple rule: attack is the best defence.

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.
