Cassivellaunos

Slot Allocation Notes

The numeric advantage on Cassivellaunos — cavalry units move 6% faster — looks modest in isolation but converts into a real edge once your civilization is operating at full production tempo.

Timing matters more than raw stat: this advisor activates the moment you reach Age III, so synchronize your advancement with your peak production window.

If you've previously underwhelmed with uncommon-tier advisors, Cassivellaunos is a useful test case for whether your build order rewards focused bonuses.
