• Yeomen - Unique to the Britons. Foot archers have +1 range (when combined with the technology Bracer, they will have +6 range), and towers have +2 attack.

• Bearded Axe - Many believe this is the most useless unique technology in the game. It is unique to the Franks, and gives throwing axemen +1 range.
• Anarchy - The Goths are the only civilization with two unique technologies, and this is one of them. Unlike the other unique technologies, it is available in the Castle Age. It allows huskarls to be created at barracks.
• Perfusion - The other Gothic unique technology. Barracks units are created +50% faster. Combined with the Gothic team bonus of barracks units created +20% faster, and the technology Conscription, barracks units can be created +85% faster. Combine that with the Goths' cheaper infantry, and the fact that they have +10 population in the Imperial Age, and you can create a very large army of infantry in as little as 10 minutes.
