I know about the Pictish units and the Celtic Warriors but would like to know some more (particularly Welsh, Irish and Scots). Perhaps Eat Cold Steel can shed some light on the subject.

Also, does anyone know of a complete picture of the VI map, which includes Scandinavia and Northern Britain? Thanks.

They have some pictures of the map/units on the web site, but I assume that you have seen those. I think that we will need to wait for the full list until May...

check the .com They just put up a picture and little blurb about the Celtic warrior. light infantry, armed with spear-type weapon and wooden shield and (hurrah) shirtless. CA is listening to us out here in forum land.

This might be a daft question but will iceland be in viking invasion? The isle of man is but i haven't seen the top of the map so i'm not sure but it would be a another good place to battle it out. Wild highlanders and insane Berzerkers kicking seven shades of s**t out of each other for control of the island. Wicked man.

The development of Greenland and Iceland insets on the map would make keen GA goals.

Ah Mead....

As for Celtic warriors....So far the offical web iste talks about

Pictish Crossbowmen
Although many outsiders dismiss them as a backward people, the Picts have not been slow to realize the advantages of the crossbow. Its reach, punch and ease of use have seen it used to great effect against the forces of more advanced nations.

Celtic Warriors
The Celtic lands are noted for the fierceness of their warriors, and have been since ancient times. Celtic warriors make very effective light infantry, and stand at the heart of Celtic armies.
