Not that I know of, but the Casse are Britons. Not exactly what you were looking for, but I guess it's better than nothing.

yeah think i'll do that, thanks, the original settlers in ireland according to the ancient annuals of the four masters at least say one group were spanish ( basque along with the belgiums, greaks and who knows what else!)so thats good enugh for me.
first stop, invade england " see how it feels when the shoe is onthe other foot boys! hehe"
the only counties ireland ever invaded in reality was scotland ( it literally means land of the irish) after the romans left it. the romans never got d "round things" to mess with us micks!
oh yeah we also invaded canada but thats a really long story!

You can recruit all the Irish/Goidilic units as Lusotanann in this version. You just have to wait for the Celtic reforms to get all of them. ATM you should have the Leacha and Deasbard(sp?), just wait until around 220 BC and you should have the Hammer guys(Ordro...something.)then, at about 180 BC you'll have access to the sword nobles and black-masked guys.(You should have them in Iberia also BTW, in case you ever want to go back!)

Eh, you did? Actually, I've read about that somewhere - somewhere being Don Rosa's The Lost Charts of Columbus.

Lots of confusion in this thread.
Okay; the Irish in 272 are Belgae, Britons, and Cruithni (similar to the Caledonians). They'd resemble EB's midland Britons at first. They became early Gaels later, with the presence of Gadels mixing with the groups there. That'd represent a culture shift, in dress, language, material goods, social make up, etc.
Also, the Irish invaded far more than Scotland. Gaelic Irish, united under the first provably historical king of all Ireland, Niall Noigíallach, youngest son of Eochaid Mugmedon, invaded and subjugated the Picts in what is now Scotland after beating on the other Irish kingdoms for a while and forcing them into submission. Then, they launched numerous large raids into Roman Britain, and fought there. Niall was eventually run off after a prolonged raid in Britain where he devestated a good bit. Niall also raided Armorica. Niall eventually died around 405 AD, outside of Ireland (either strangled by Eochaid mac Enna, king of Leinster, at sea, while going to raid Armorica, killed by Picts who stopped paying tribute, or killed in the Alps fighting Germans as a Roman ally).
After that though; Leinster conquered Ynys Mon and parts of northwestern Wales, were eventually ejected. A dependent of Munster, the Deisi Mumhan, invaded western Wales, established Dyfedd with the help of another Irish group there composed of exiled Deisi who'd revolted; they were given a chunk of territory that became a semi-independent sub-kingdom, and subsequently helped the Deisi subjugate the area. They had Irish-blooded kings for centuries. Portions of Brittany were settled by Irish as well. As well, Irish mercenaries were once a substantial portion of the armies in Britain, used by the Brythonic kingdoms against Saxons.

haha Im 2nd generation Irish in london and the clann i come from was the Rulers of the Deisi.
The Invasion of Canada is a reference to a proto-IRA gorup...was it the IRB or the fenians. Its all off the top of my head ....basically irish emigrants to the US decieded that if they invaded british controlled canada they could maybe some how free Ireland from British rule. It failed like most Irish plans pre 1920

Just one question. Who where the Gadels? :help:
will Lusotannia get new units or new features or somthing in 1.0?
