Dumnorix

Dumnorix in Practice

Veteran players value Dumnorix for the consistency of its bonus rather than its raw size. caravans cost 50% less and move 10% faster — a steady, always-on modifier that doesn't depend on situational triggers.

Against most matchups, the bonus pairs naturally with civilizations that already incentivize economy. Stacking is multiplicative with researched technologies.

Most published deck-building guides include Dumnorix or a comparable economy-focused advisor for similar reasons: predictability and clean stacking.
