They are more or less the same: easier to blitz as Averni (taking away aeduis northern settlements in 3 turns and reaching Massalia in one turn) but the aedui have a Julii generals and the red doesn't go well with the rest of the units.

How do they have the Julii generals? The Diadochi fill up the Roman slot.

I like them all but the Iberians need a bit more work when talking about units. In some settlements you just can't recruit units (yet). SO I would sya Aedui, Arverni, Sweboz, getai or casse.

Be prepared for some amazing skins with Getai though

anyone know if there is any talk on changing the casse generals?
I know that fighting with one in a town is a complete waste of time.

If not I guess I'll need to learn to master the casse in some other way.

Thinking about it.. Arveni should be easier. I think they're unified (not split up), as well as having the almighty Gaesatae warriors.

Casse Chariots are just placeholders: they will get a completely new chariot unit and different stats. Still, chariots are not suited to narrow streets, so don't expect to get much use out of them in a town.

Umm, in your opinion? People work hard on those things, and that's your only comment? Grow up...

It's not that we don't value your opinion, its that you made it in a very childish and cruel manner. How about 'the dacian skins don't look as good as they could, so I'd avoid that until the team fixes the problem'. That sends the same message, but in a much nicer and more professional way.

I really thought they were supposed to look like that.

They are, but you could give constructive comments rather than just nasty ones. What problems do you think the Dacian skins have?

Jesus what did I start here...again.
I can't because I suck at most of the things that you guys need:help:
You must admit though that the Celts look better and waiting 600 turns to get the top units has a real incentive there

I think he means the Getai are simply ugly, not poorly made.

For example, compare the Getai with the Seleucid "elite" units, the Seleucids are much prettier. It's not EB's fault the Getai armies are uglier than others, if EB has indeed "realistic" skins, then it's the Getai fault for not raising beautifully decorated armies. :sweatdrop:

I think the early Camillian Roman shields SUCK! I think they should be entirely painted, but they aren't. The skin is great, blame the Romans for not painting all their shields back then for my virtual enjoyment today. :surrender:

Well that sort of sums up my intent and I am sorry if I managed to offend anyone:oops:
