Special buildings
- Brewery provides an attack bonus during celebrations
- Earth Wall is difficult to destroy
Simple strategy
- Clubswingers are quick and cheap to build and so easily replaced
- Easy to raid local villages for a profit
- Cheap Chiefs to conquer other players' villages
Advanced strategy
- While troops are cheap, they are not fast and so Teutons are best for close-range attacks.
- Long-distance attacks require higher troop numbers, which can be expensive to feed.
- Teuton Spearfighters are strong defense against cavalry – combined with the Roman Praetorian from an allied friend, they form a strong and efficient defensive force.
- Teuton Scouts are weaker than their Gaul and Roman counterparts but cheaper to feed.
- Earth Wall is hard to destroy, but the defense bonus is low
- Use the Brewery bonus wisely—while it increases attack power, it also weakens chiefs and prevents catapults from targeting specific buildings.
