Celtic Chieftains Preview

New Celtic Factions Sneak Preview

Roma Surrectum 2.0, which continues to gather steam for a not-too distant release, is going to be making many changes over the current Roma Surrectum.

One of the biggest changes: we will replace the current "Gallic Tribes" faction with not one, not two, but three separate, playable Celtic factions.

The Celts were in many ways the most successful of ancient peoples until Rome invented the modern army and decided to Latinize the planet. From the hills of Iberia to the Alps, from the English Channel to the Balkans, they held sway for centuries, hundreds of powerful tribes gathered into great confederations, constantly pushing against the more civilized lands of the south, and occaisonally bursting through the frontiers in terrifying raids, culminating in their sacks of both Rome and Delphi.

These proud, ferocious people were the bane of Roman and Greek alike, and were the product of a noble and warlike culture. Roma Surrectum 2.0 will do the Celts the justice they deserve by including three separate factions. Not only will this give the player three exciting campaigns to chose from, but it will drastically improve the overall faction balance -- now the civilized nations really will have to struggle to keep back the Celtic hordes!

Below are the Generals of these three new factions. Now, the question is, can anyone guess which three Celtic factions will be in RS2.0, and match them correctly to the Generals below?

It goes without saying that RS Dev team members are not allowed to "guess".

a fun guess would be:

Boii

Catuvellauni

Helvetii

aedui, arverni and....some..thing? no idea for a third

Excelent!
I just got done overdosing on RS 1.5 for the first time. :2thumbsup:!!!!
I'm glad the Gauls are getting due respect in the next version that they deserve.

Arverni, Catuvellauni and Helvetii:yes:

Arverni, Boii and Belgae

Middle ones are definitely Southern Britons or Belgae of some sort because they have horned helmets and Battersea shields... the top ones have the bird crested helmets presumably Ciumesti style, so they're an Eastern Celtic faction - Scordisci perhaps? The third ones... hmm, not sure... Gauls of some kind, but I can't be more specific.
