Cruvamendica (Goidilic Cavalry) Description Incorrect

[Taliferno]

Ok dont have much time for this reply so I will try to explain a bit more til I get home from work. First the part that is incorrect about the description is that chariots weren't used much in favor of light cavalry. While Light cavarly was used, so were chariots. A lot of Irish Legends speak specifically of them. My main goal is that it should be acknowledged that the Irish fielded chariots quite often, not that they appeared rarely.

The Reason why I included the part about celtic/british chariots is mainly concerning the casse chariots in comparison to others such as the pontic ones in EB. Casse chariots in game have very limited use and in antiquity, Caesar himself says they were a very powerful force to be reckoned with.

Also, to those siting that people should know what Ireland's terrain/geogreaphy is like and such, I am very well aware of the land of Eire. I was born and raised in Killarney, Co. Kerry Ireland. While I currently live in States, I still go back every year to visit my cousins in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

Will explain more later tonight.

As soon as any chariot is discovered let me know. At the moment all there is are a couple of wooden yokes which are just as likely to have been used for ox driven carts for agrigculture as a War chariot. There is a single terret (a device for holding the reins of a chariot) found in County Antrim that was apparently imported from North Britain. Compare this single find to the 140 terrets found in Britain.
To put it simply there is not enough archaeological evidence to say that War chariots were a common feature in Ireland. In Rome Total War terms they would probably be represented as a family bodyguard, and since there is no Irish faction, there is no need for a chariot unit.
