Just wow . There swordmaster unit has probably the best skin and texture job next to the super cataphracts of Phalva(sp?) .
Anyway besides that I do have a question relating to some of your research . No I'm not questioning it in a bad way but based on some of the descriptions of wonders and such in Britian and Ireland has the research you used found evidence of there being a written language there ?
All Celts wrote to some extent. It's a misconception that they were illiterate. It's just, only Q-speakers from Galaecia and Ireland appear to have had their own script for a long time (discluding the possibility of a Caledonian written language as being Celtic since don't know what language the northernmost tribes actually spoke, but if they did speak a Celtic language, they'd also be Celts with their own script). Gauls and central European Celts, and Britons all originally wrote plenty on votive objects, parts of temples and so on, usually in Greek script at first, and later using Latin letters. They were apparently very literate people actually; Caesar didn't like sending written messages in Gaul because apparently a soldier of even middle class standing could probably read it well enough regardless of if it was in Greek or Latin. It'd seem, if they're compared to the late pagan Irish, they probably didn't write regularly as a religious thing, believing it weakened the memory. As such, it was only acceptable to write on certain things, like bowls and such for rituals, tombs, and so on, though there is also Celtic graffiti some places, such as in Egypt where Galatian mercenaries often left graffiti, most notably one group of friends writing on an old temple to Horus how they'd caught a fox near it.
