Thanks for the replies Paullus. That was basically what I wanted to know. I don't personally believe drugs were involved but given how you went about it, I think it's a fair addition to the game. Obviously adding that it is all hypothetical somewhere in the unit notes would have helped the cause.

As for the stats, I'm somewhat unsure of them. I think they fairly depict the gaesatae as the elite celtic unit, but the double hitpoint... I don't know, seems a bit too much at times. I think reducing the hitpoints to 1 and somehow compensating with a very good attack skill and enemy morale effects would be more accurate. But anyway, things aren't bad as they stand.

Parallel Pain, don't take stuff for granted.
