Jihad and Celtic tribes.

[Vulg]

Hi,

Am new but I like to read and lurk.

Just an idea, could the Jihad option be changed for inciting celtic uprisings against the Romans similar to how Vercingetorix incited Roman dislike in other neighbouring tribes.

Just a thought.

[Flying Pig]

Support from me. A great idea, as the Keltoi did have a 'supreme court' and made long-distance campaigns

hmmm...i always imagined celtic/germanic migrations as barcrawls with a bit of blood and killing splashed here and there......>_>

[Majd il-Romani]

maybe jihad would be a migration for germanic/celtic factions (the agents be chieftains or something) and for romans it would be called a "national emergency" and the agents would be quasetors/senators/something else and for parthia and other steppe nations you could have the Apache warpath

[Miles Sueborum]

Isn't Jihad and Warpath exactly the same in terms of game mechanics?

And I'm not sure if would cause a problem to have more than one culture able to do a Jihad - because in MTW2 every Muslim faction could participate in the Jihad - and if Germanics and Celts would both get this feature, than you could have Swebos following an Averni-Jihad to Rome which seems wierd...

However - all celtic factions united in a Jihad und thus simply overrunning all of italy seems also quite wierd, if it was thus simple to organise all celts into a united force against any given enemy Ceasar wouldn't have conquered gaul...

In theory, I guess you could set it so you the Gauls can only "jihad" on gallic regions no longer owned by gauls, representing the gauls unification when they were threatened with elimination. Not that I think that this is what it should be used as, but I think it would work in theory. In MTW2 I think you could only Jihad on muslim regions not owned by a muslim faction. Then again, that meant you could Jihad the rebels, so that would be kinda tricky, don´t know if you can get around that.
