i know that the britains did throw heads at their enemies but did they actually have a unit specialising in this?
Thanks

Just one old soldiers opinion.
We need MP games without the oversimplifications required for 'good' AI.
In my head the barbarians wouldnt have had such regimented, standardised armies.
I think of the warlords elite troops concentrated in sections of the barbarian line, and while the rest of the army may be armed with similar weapons armour would vary from tribe to tribe. Breaking from the ranks as the armies engage would come individuals or small groups of frenzied warriors- call them berserkers, woad warriors or head hurlers.
I dont see them as formalised units- more young men bent on glory, taking massive risks and seeking recognition.
Im not maning that the armies wouldnt have tactical subtlety, more that the apearance of the army would reflect a multitude of tribes and families called together to fight.
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Cry Havoc and let slip the FERRETS OF WAR!
Since hardly a barbarian unit existed you can bet that the head hurlers didn't exist. But I'm pretty certain that the Britons did throw severed heads at their enemies now and then, basically every culture did that (though mostly in sieges).
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
I'm hoping that CA will fix this in the expansion. They should make the barbarian units mingle and attack as masses.
yeah, but putting them in horde formations make it look a bit better already, but i'd like to see that a unit used axes, swords and spears al together
