Being Irish, one of the big draws of EB for me was the great selection of Goidilic units. In fact, a few of these units seem almost too cool to be true - if it wernt for EB's usually rigorous historical accuracy, I would suspect they were fantasy units.
That said, I understand that with most models a degree of imagination has to be employed, or else there would be very few units in the game.
My question is does anyone know where I can get at the information/ evidence they were based on?
In particular Im talking about the Ordmalica and Dubosaverlacica (and the apparently related Basque unit, the Dosidataskeli).
Also, I've got to note that in the unit descriptions certain things are stated as fact which are actualy only theoretical (controversial, even). For example the connection between the Fir Bolg and the Belgae, or an Iberian presence Ireland. Im interested in these theories myself, there may well be some truth in them, but it should be noted that theories is all they are. Unless there is some new evidence I'm not aware of?
