What do you dislike about the Arverni symbol? If the mod was focused on Luernios, then the fox would be the perfect symbol to use. However he is a single person and the mod starts in 272 BC to 14 AD...

Bouiros means cattle/striking man, Bouiroi is plural as in men. It's a name that means the same as Boioi, as written by classical Greek authors. The bo- root in Gallic can be defined as striker or...

I've noticed the name "Bouiros" on one of the loading screens, next to other factions. I didn't find anything about them on internet and they are not a faction, so do you maybe have any information...

You believe Caesar, hook line and sinker. You are seldom, if ever, critical of his writings. You really believe Ariovistus' 3,000 warriors (of 15,000 migrants - The BG did not say these were all...

Where did I say the Celtic elite "wiped themselves out?"

You are misunderstanding what my argument is. I am not saying the elites wiped themselves out to a man, or some drastic 90% casualty rate....

Good discussion...

Much of this is the result of misinterpretations in the Greek and Hebrew writings into King James Bibles. Originally the OT was written in Hebrew, and the NT in Greek. The words...

Okay, thanks for that info - I thought he was an Anglo-Saxon for some reason :doh:

For anyone curious about a brief overview of the composition and makeup of a typical Gallic Army, and how warfare, power and prestige shaped Gallic society, can take a look at this picture .pdf.

I have no problem with Collis. How do you dismiss his archaeology on the turmoil that seemed to affect the Arverni's population?What were they running to these oppida for?



No idea what you...

EDIT: Had to add and change things around....



The Aedui tired themselves out simply waiting for a fight to happen?

Around 300 A.D. Brittany suffered with the crisis of the Roman Empire at the time, which resulted in the economy collapsing, population decline, etc. But at around this same time the British Celts...

Not sure what the issue is. I am aware of this source that you linked above:

In short, that these were the same men whom the Helvetii, in frequent encounters, not only in their own territories,...

Sure ambushes and hiding and attacking weaker and more non existent forces is effective - time and again in history this is shown. My point thought is that it does not seem to be the braver tactic...

Hello, Frostwulf, how have you been? I would disagree with you assessment for various reasons. Ariovistus came into the picture at the end of things. For example, The Germans of Caesar states:

I cannot help but be a rather strong advocate of the "Germans were to blame" camp or whatever. During Caesar's time, the Germanic, Spanish, Celtic, etc... allies were kept in their place, in...

Welcome to the Forums :thumbsup2

Like the others said, if you search, you'll most likely find what you need. Roman Empire "stuff" is perhaps the most active group of topics on the boards.

The only "compulsory gay" state of existence, from what I have read, was the Sacred Band/Holy band of Thebes. I've never read that all Spartans, Thebans, Athenians *had* to have homo relations with...

As the Arverni Celts, I usually setup the Lugoae in the middle, in short, thick formations. This is to pin the middle of the enemy long enough for the Gaesetae, Neitos, Solduri, or other elite unit...

I have not had extensive playing time with the Epiroits. They could indeed be the unsung powerhouse of the greek factions. In most of my games thought, they start out strong, but end up getting...

I have played Scotland many times, almost exclusively. I seldom if ever play the game now because of RTW EB. When I did play, I played somewhat historically. I would rely on the Highland Charge for...

That being said, the game could have been way more finished than it was. I bought it expecting a better unpatched game...

This can also apply to Scottish Gaelic (Scotland) and Manx (the Isle of Man). Their branch of Celtic language is similar.

I never once played, but my little bros did, and I did see a few episodes on TV. I would say that my fave was Bulbasaur, followed closely by Onyx

Yes, you are correct. I was thinking, as you are, about a army under a specific commander, like, as you have said, Julius' Caesar's legions. Not the entire kill count of Romes army from 700 something...

If there were Celtic bandits in Normandy, it can be safe to say that Brittany, being next to Normandy, could have be the point of origin for those bandits.

I've no doubt that the US would ring up victory after victory at first, from better training and equipment, etc... I do not believe the US military was as all powerful as it was in the 40s-50s.

Yeah, that what I had figured after I searched and could not find anything other than impossibly small numbers for a nation's defense force (I read the Philippines have a 2000 man elite defense force...

I do agree also. Self defense is a bit different. I cannot think of any scripture that goes against that aspect of it. What I was mentioning should be geared towards a professed Christians joining...
