Celtic (Civ4)

The Celtic people (or Celts) represent a civilization in Civilization IV.
== Strategy ==
If you are playing as the Celts, you can start off the game by rushing Iron Working, and then making an army of Gallic Warriors. Swordsmen can be pretty brutal to an enemy without any Walls or Axemen, so if you hit an enemy early, you can get a bunch of extra cities. If playing as Boudica, your Gallic Warriors also start with Combat I from her Aggressive trait.
The Dun gives a free Guerrilla I promotion to eligible units (Recon, Archery, Gunpowder). Since Gallic Warriors start with Guerrilla I, this aspect of the Dun is a bit redundant, even though they wouldn't get that promotion from the Dun. It's still a nice building for defending your lands.
If you find yourself behind the tech curve from all that early aggression, you can instead opt to take advantage of Brennus' Spiritual trait in the late game. One can build up goodwill with the other leaders by agreeing to whatever civic/religion changes they may ask of you, because there is no anarchy. One can also switch to Organized Religion and Universal Suffrage when building the United Nations to help rush it. From there, one can attempt to get a Diplomatic Victory.
