Teutons

Teutons are the most funky tribe and the most successful raiders. Their infantry are the best in the game for their purpose. This, unfortunately comes at the cost of their cavalry being the worst in the game. Teuton Hero allows raiding parties accompanied by him to loot resources off crannies, acting as if their capacity were 20% lower than usual (a cranny with a 1000 resources limit would only hide up to 800 when attacked by Teuton Hero). This plunder bonus can be increased by having either the Pouch, Bag or Sack of the Thief equipped.

Macemen (Clubswinger)

Macemen are a raiding unit with medium attack. Macemen are useful in the early stages of the game due to the fact that they are cheap to build and can be trained quickly. However their defence is poor especially against cavalry.

Some players prefer them to be best in offense per cost per time per upkeep and per attack value. Even their capacity is medium. But if they are attacked by any cavalry they die off like flies. It is this reason that they should never be use for defence, specially when cavalry is attacking.

A mace hammer can be built very quickly but has a higher upkeep than Axemen.

Spearman

When it comes to defending against cavalry, the Teutonic Spearman is the best among all three tribes.

Axeman

An Axeman is the Teuton's strongest combative infantry unit. Note that both the Gaul and Roman offence focused infantry are stronger, and the Roman Imperian is faster. However, once again, Axeman is cheaper than Swordsman and Imperian, and it's training time is also faster compared with the other two.

Scout

Teutons are the only tribe whose scouts are infantry, meaning they are the 1^st tribe to have them. With an upkeep cost of 1, Teutonic scouts are greatly favored as defensive scouts. They also tie for cheapest-to-build scout with the Romans' Equites Legati. They only require an Academy level 1, Barracks level 3 & Main Building level 5. Scouts are good for knowing an opponent's resource, troop, & defence levels; however, they are a lot slower than the Roman and Gallic counterparts, because they move on foot.

Cavalry

Paladin

The Paladin is the Teutons' first mounted unit. Sadly, he is also one of the slowest and weakest since his attack is only 55, making him the second to worst mounted unit attack--wise.

However, he has the 2^nd highest defense against infantry, and, as a bonus, he is also the cheapest. For defense vs. infantry to cost ratio he has the 4^th highest, a 10.05:1, compared to the Gauls' 7.88:1 (Phalanx) or the Romans' 7.07:1 (Praetorian). What this unit has that the other 2 do not, is a good carrying capacity for raiding.

Teutonic Knight

This unit is the Teutons' highest combat value unit, although not the highest Combat

cost ratio (10.17). However, it has the highest combat cost ratio of all mounted units. It is also the second strongest cavalry unit in the game. He can quickly decimate any defensive forces.

Siege weapons

Ram

Teutons have the cheapest Ram in the game (1720, compared to the Romans' 1830 & Gauls' 1910). All rams move at the same speed, 4/hour. This puts the Teutons at a disadvantage, since their basic units are cheaper to produce & faster. However, since you have swarms of basic infantry, these things are wonderful, as they provide their bonus to all infantry in the group (since they destroy a wall, it actually reduces the bonus to the defender, but same difference.)

Catapult

Teutons have the cheapest Catapult in the game (2760, compared to the Romans' 2990 & Gauls' 3130). Although the Teuton catapult does the least amount of damage, 50. (Romans do 75 attack) (Gauls do 70 attack). All catapults move at the same speed, 3/hour. Again, the swarm effect is in place here: you have such a low attack value:cost ratio, and move so slow already, that this slowness in speed works in your favour.

Skill with crannies

Whereas a cranny hides its full contents from Gauls or Romans, a Teuton can steal anything from the top 20%* of the total cranny space for each resource.

(What this actually means: The cranny protection of an enemy village is multiplied by 0.8 when attacked by a Teuton.)

*20% for version 3.5 and above.

*20% for version 4, but MUST have the hero in the army

Strategy

Consider yourself like a bee hive: you have a lot of small units each whose sting is debilitating. The best defence is a good offence. Your troops have the best attack:cost ratio in the game, as well as the best cavalry defence:cost ratio. This translates into ass-kicking in the beginning & end of the game. You only suffer mid game, when you have no real strong points that other people can't defend against.

Early game

You are the 1st to get infantry units. Focus building only the buildings required to get units. Don't worry too much about trying to build your resource fields; that comes later. As soon as possible, start raiding. Build your army by at least 10 units a day. When you do start building resource fields, wood (lumber) is more important to Teutons than the other resources, because of the Clubswinger's training costs.

Next move on to building scouts. You will be the only tribe with them, so use them excessively for now to pinpoint who doesn't have troops, but has a load of resources. Try to build a fairly large mini-hammer before mid-game. Around 3-4k axemen will do fine. It will help later during end game.

Extra

Although the cost of troops are low, Teuton Settlers are the most expensive and time-consuming to produce among three tribes.

Complete Ram Table

This table lists the number of rams necessary to completely destroy a wall of a given type and level, given that all Rams survive the attack and the rams do not have any Blacksmith upgrades.
