Unique Units
British Chariots: Can be recruited from Blacksmith. These men are like chariot archers fast mobile and deadly kill enemy archers or make the enemy archers waste ammo so that they dont target your head hurlers or woad warriors.
British Heavy Chariots: Can be recruited from Weaponsmith. The Britions dosent have spearmen and its infantry are vulnerble to a heavy cavalry charge these men are able to annahilate enemy cavalry and are also higly mobile able to catch heavy cavalry.
Head Hurlers : Can be recruited from Shrine to Andrasta. Scare enemy troops with heads and are also pretty good in attack.
The Head hurlers have an armour piercing missile attack and are also good in melee. Higly mobile because they dont wear armour they are vulnerble to archers and must come close to the enemy if they want to trow missiles.
Woad Warriors : Can be recruited from Sacred Grove of Andrasta. Woad warriors follow this simple rule attack is the best defence. Exellent attack but very poor defence.
Very cheap unit that can disengege from an enemy if the enemy begins to surrond you.
