Gallic Warrior (Civ4)

The Gallic Warrior is the unique unit of the Celtic civilization.
== Strategy ==
Compared to the Swordsman that it replaces, the Gallic Warrior has access to the Guerrilla promotions, starts with Guerrilla I and can be built with Copper, in addition to Iron.
=== Using Gallic Warriors ===
Gallic Warriors have two key advantages. One, they can be built with Copper as well as Iron. Two, they have access to the Guerrilla line of promotions. Being built with Copper means that you'll be able to produce them earlier than you might normally, without having the strength disadvantage of Jaguars. This makes them decent at a fast attack, but other Swordsmen replacements are better at this role, the Jaguar requiring no resources and being slightly faster to build, the Roman Praetorian being an absolute city-crushing juggernaut.
The key uses of Gallic Warriors are in defense, and for pillaging. In defense, they match up to Longbowmen for hills defense - your Mines are safe from enemy attack, and if your cities are on hills, you'll be able to keep them better-defended than Archers might. For pillaging, promote them to Guerrilla II and take out enemy mines. High defense will make your Gallic Warrior a pain to kill and the movement bonus will let you out faster if need be.
=== Against Gallic Warriors ===
Gallic Warriors off hills are no more powerful than regular Swordsmen. In more open terrain, Mounted units can pick them off fairly well. If pillaging warriors become a pain, just defend those hills with Archers. Then, they'll lose their advantages.
Pick them off with Axemen! Lone Gallic Warriors are still highly vulnerable to Axemen like regular Swordsmen are.
