Background Information
During the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar, the emperor of Rome invaded Britain. Majority of the Britons had been overrun and culturally assimilated by the Celtic tribes during the Iron Age and had been supporting Julius Caesar’s enemies.
In 34, 27 and 25 B.C, Augustus planned to invade Britain that was under the Celtic tribes control but decided to call it off. Then in 40 A.D Caligula built 200,000 troops and stationed at the Channel to gather the seashells as a gesture to proclaim Rome’s victory over the sea.
Three years later, Claudius commanded 4 legions to invade Britain to restore the exiled de-facto king Verica. Romans resoundingly defeated the Catuvellauni and organized their conquests as Provincial Britannia. By the end of 47 A.D, Romans ruled a large swath of southeast land known as the Fosse Way.
The Rome Empire’s control over Provincial Britannia in Wales slowly declined and was reserved through Boudica’s uprising. However, their control shifted and expanded northward.

Best Britain Traits
Britain has one of the best alliance traits in the game. While the first 2 traits helps you a lot with doing more damage and training troops faster. The third trait adds an interesting twist to the game and benefits your alliance a lot in alliance wars. We will talk more about these best Britain traits in detail next.
Trait 1
The first trait of Britain gives a 5% archer attack bonus, which is pretty much self-explanatory. This bonus is a nice perk if you are playing pure archer commanders like Edward of Woodstock, Ramesses II or Tomyris.
Trait 2
Increases the training speed of troops by 5%. This trait helps a lot in late game when the time it takes to train Tier 4 / Tier 5 troops becomes longer. The small 5% bonus helps chip off several minutes and hours as well.
Trait 3
The third trait gives you 20% alliance garrison capacity bonus. To clarify, this trait only applies to you and not other players. Which means you will be able to send 20% more troops to garrison in Alliance Fortress and Alliance Flag than normal. A very important trait for alliance wars.

Best Britain Tips & Tricks
In this part, I am going to share the best Britain tips and tricks that you can use to leverage early in the game. Keep it in your mind that while this civilization performs the best when you join one of these top alliances, it is still a decent nation to play with in Rise of Kingdoms. Here’s a list of tips & tricks below for playing in Britain.
Tip 1: Roll with Archer-Only Commanders
One of the best ways you can do to maximize that 5% archer attack bonus is to stack on archer-only commanders. Ideally, you want to do a pure archer build on commanders who specialize in archery. Not only does it help them do more damage but makes them even more deadlier.
Tip 2: Always Keep Training On
Even the 5% training speed bonus might not sound like a lot early in the game. The trait becomes more and more important as you progress later. While the bonus is small, it will remove a few hours off your troops training when you are doing Tier 4 / Tier 5.
Tip 3: Join an Alliance
The third trait is huge and you need to be in an alliance, preferable top alliances. The 20% alliance garrison capacity is nice when you can provide support to speed up the time to build alliance garrison and flags. Plus, you can defend even more if you have good defender commanders to lay waste on your enemies.
Tip 4: City Bombing? Go Britain
One of the main advantages for City Bombing is the improved 20% garrison capacity. This means you can support more troops and teleport to the nearest enemy to take them down by surprise. Britain is the only civilization that can do this combat tactics effectively.
