The Teutons and Their Advantages

Overview

The Teutons are the most aggressive and fearless of all the tribes. Their warriors are infamous for their rage in battle and relentless pillage raids. Unafraid of death, they roam the lands in overwhelming numbers, striking fear into their enemies.

While Teutonic troops lack the discipline and organization of the Romans and Gauls, they make up for it with sheer ferocity and numbers. Their units are cheap to train, fast to produce, and have excellent carrying capacity, making them ideal for early-game raiding and constant aggression.

The Teutons are a great choice for offense-minded and experienced players who enjoy fast-paced, high-pressure gameplay focused on raiding and domination.


Playstyle Tips

  • Focus on raiding early and often — your troops are cheap, expendable, and perfect for resource theft.

  • Use your Brewery to increase your attack power when planning major assaults.

  • Your Earth Wall is hard to destroy but offers limited defense — rely on offense, not fortifications.

  • Keep your hero active in raids to benefit from the Cranny dip bonus.

  • Be prepared to expand aggressively — Teutons thrive when they maintain constant pressure on enemies.
