    Even when one culture melds with another, they don't completely change. Instead, the two cultures mix into a new one, with one dominent. Even if the Galatians would have appeared Hellenized, the could have still held the romantic concept of a warrior fighting for his god in their minds.

    But we're looking for sources on the Tindantotae.

    Exactly. Anything is possible, but I'm looking for documentation.

    So does anyone on the team know where this came from?

    It's another made up word. The Galatian Celts may well have had such warriors, but they didn't go by the name "Tindanotae". The stuff about Christian berserkers, devotion to Herakles-Toutatis and carving words into their flesh (a Viking trick, I think) is likewise fantasy, as is much of the elaboration on the descriptions of Celtic units.

    Well, you said it, not me. but I have my suspicions as to the truthfulness of the description, that's why I asked for sources.

    It's all a bit of a "running sore", really. Some time ago, a fake Celtic scholar supplied a load of wrong information to the EB Team (or so some people - and I'm one of them - are saying; it's not officially recognised) Sadly, a lot of effort was put into incorporating all the wrong material and undoing the damage will take more effort. There's a thread called "Materia Celtica" somewhere about where some of us have been discussing this and what might be done.
