(2) Lack of thumb ring makes their xbows / arbs bad in straight fights. (1) They dont know how to micro with the extra range. Britons arent really that good for noobs : Though when playing them live you only need 5 on sheep instead of the usual 6 as they have an eco bonus that makes villagers on sheep work 25% faster. I also reccommend downloading the mod 'Interactive Build Order Guide' and learn one of the archer build orders. Britons is a civ that is loved by noobs and pros alike. They also have decent dock tech so can work well on hybrid maps. Britons also have a full tech blacksmith and a strong barracks with champion and halbs which makes them versatile and gives some good options when it comes to tech-switching, though their stable is bad. Originally posted by Far<3:Britons is 'noob favorite' when it comes to civs, very strong archers that can outrange enemy archers/skirms and enemy mangonels, so they are not that micro intensive.
