I don't often see the Celts talked about. One thing I've noticed about them is that they seem particularly well suited to going wide.
- Free early faith based on number of cities provides a good chance to earn the first religion. This gives you a big chance to grab religious buildings that provide Happiness
- The Ceilidh Hall grants +3 Happy per city
Taken together, and the Celts have a good chance of having an additional +5 or +6 Happy for each city over and above other the base number (depending on how may religious buildings they score).
I've tried it and the technique seems to pan out. Particularly by adding some aggression to the mix and taking enemy capitals. Really takes the bite out of going so wide, and has made Boudicca one of my go-to civs (since I prefer playing wide).
Anyone else have other experiences?
