Wales are a new faction introduced in M2TW Kingdoms.

Starting Position

Wales is possibly the hardest faction in the Britannia campaign bar norway , due to a relatively poor starting position (with only 3 settlements). Thankfully it's very easy to defend this position, owing to high quality welsh archers and spearmen, the hilly geography of Wales and the easily defended forts.

Defence should not be a priority for Welsh leaders however, instead, attacking the English very hard, very early is the surest ways of securing victory in any Anglo-Welsh war. The starting Welsh King Llywelyn is also their hero and is particularly good at fighting the English. A good strategy is to strike out all the English towns on the Welsh border early on and then build up from there.

Unit Summary

Welsh units tend to be lighter than the other factions, it's worth noting that Saethwyr archers, are excellent longbowmen that have more men per unit than most other missile troops. They also have a number of quality spearmen including the heavily armoured Morgannwg Spearmen, who are easily capable of protecting the archers flanks from enemy cavalry (assuming stakes are protecting the archers front). As well as this, two handed axe-men fill the role of shock infantry, and can deal with most infantry units, especially if they have been weakened by longbow fire first. The Welsh are somewhat lacking in heavy cavalry however, being only able to recruit teulu as effective Heavy-ish cavalry. Others are available but very light

Overall the Welsh are not recommended for beginners, due to the difficulty experienced if the English manage to recover from your early attacks
