Tips for Gauls

Defend cheaply with Phalanx and traps, raid far with Theutates Thunders, and use your doubled cranny.
What works best
  • Your cranny reaches the 35% maximum at level 5.
  • Build a Trapper early: each trap catches an attacker.
  • Phalanx is cheap defence against both infantry and cavalry.
  • Theutates Thunder (speed 19, carry 75) is the best long-range raider.
  • Druidriders are fast defenders against infantry; Haeduans attack and defend against cavalry.
  • Merchants are the fastest (speed 24).

  • Gaul traps (Trapper) Defence & protectionGauls build traps in the Trapper. Each free trap catches one attacker before the fight; prisoners stay until the Gaul frees them or their side wins an attack on that village.
  • How does the cranny work? Defence & protectionThe cranny hides 3.5% of your storage per level (35% at level 10) of each resource from raiders. Gauls hide twice as much, but never more than 35%.
