The Picts (Wrath of the Norsemen)

From TWC Wiki

The Picts are a faction in the Medieval II mod "Wrath of the Norsemen"

The Picts are one of the most unique factions in the mod, as they have a very diverse unit roster in which some troops can only be recruited in certain provinces. Also, they have a huge armourment of weapons ranging from axes to pikes to swords to javelins and bows. Lastly, They will have a very interesting tech tree, and will start off with a very basic and weak tech tree, but when progressed up quickly will unlock powerful units and features.

They have a very good infantry and decent archers, but lack the powerful cavalry of other nations.

Pictish Unique Units:

Claiomhnaghta

The average Pict soldier is brave, determined and skilful. Couple this with discipline and tactics, and you have an extremely able soldier. These troops are well trained and disciplined, and are armed with javelins and a fine sword, and protected by a sturdy shield. They form a compact and explosive force on the battlefield, and can be deployed effectively almost anywhere.

Toisechs

The Nobles of Pictish society can afford to keep around them a retinue of battle-hardened troops, hired from the ranks of the Gai Aurmahr. They are better armed and of higher fighting skill than the common soldiers. These troops are equipped with the Gallic Pike, a fearsome weapon against cavalry and foot soldiers, and a large shield slung on their back.

Máineacha

Most Pictish warriors seem to have avoided heavy armour, but some particularly savage Picts may have gone into battle without even shield to protect them. The appearence of the Máineacha inspired fear amongst their enemies, and only by utilizing bows and javelins could the enemy have any safety from these madmen.
