    Default Gaesetae

    The Gaesatae ( sorry mispelled the typing in title but I cant fix ) were a very famous group of celtic warrior mercs .... but I see no presence of them in the Interactive map unlesssI have missed them ...

    They likely won't be known as "Gaesatae" in the game. They very well might be the Gallic or Celtic Warriors units listed on the map.

    Gaesatae (literally spear warriors) is a bit of a catch all term for essentially young adventurous Gauls who went abroad in search of fame and fortune. So they tended to form mercenary warbands and be very 'enthusiastic' about fighting as they all strove to out do each other in the glorious deeds department. At Telamon they are reported to have fought pretty much in the buff.

    I think you will probably find that the name Gaesatae won't be found in Rome 2 (heck apparently Theureophoroi is too hard) so they will likely be classified as either 'naked fanatics' or the more technically correct 'clothing optional spear warriors'

    If they aren't the Celtic warriors then they might be factional units for the Cisalpine Gaul Celts?

    Apparently the Gaesatae were actually enraged Proto-Finnic men who had their clothes stolen when they were in the sauna. It happened all too frequently, and every time they grabbed their spears and went south-westbound on a naked rampage.

    lol .


    Anyway It seems to me they were too much important and unique to be dismissed simply as Celtic warband mercs ...

    I hope they will get their uniquity in the game as well .

    eventually they can always give them a loincloth .

    I think they might appear on the Arverni Unit list, probably as naked warriors (despite the loincloth) like they did in the original Rome.

    Both of these posts are excellent.

    We're more concerned about children seeing potential nudity than about children commanding and watching mass death? Despite the game being PEGI-16?

    There will be a lot of people killed in this game. If children play this game and are so easily impressed they might run around and kill their playmates in their sandpits. Of course, moral tells us that this is not as bad as seeing naked men, but nevertheless ... perhaps the game should be banned at all?

    I'm serious though. I don't think naked warriors will be approved by the government. So do you want CA to release Rome 2 Total War or not? Simple. It's about morals and decency. C'mon guys.

    You wouldn't enjoy Roma Surrectum 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfljKkqw5h0 Skip to 5:20 or thereabouts. They are the funniest thing I've ever seen on a TW game...
    Is that sad?

    I don't want to ban the Gaesetae from the game, but I don't approve of the Creative Assembly trying to stuff it down my throat or wave it in my face.
