*CripplingOverspecialization: The Gauls' Haeduan has the highest cavalry defence in the game, but very poor infantry defence and mediocre offence. [[note]]Their offense used to be decent, at 140 for 3 crop consumption. However, the introduction of the Horse Drinking Trough for Romans reduces the crop consumption of Equites Caesaris (180 attack) to 3, and the brewery increased Teutonic Knight's effective attack to 180, making Haeduan weaker in comparison. It still has some niche uses as a fast anti-cavalry defender, like in quick reinforcements where most of the defenders would be anti-infantry (Druidrider, Anhur Guard).[[/note]]
