    Default Goildic units

    Those shock troops and whatnot. That were disabled in EBI's campaign. about them- Will they show up in EB II? I personally enable them in the campaign so I'd be a little upset if they didn't make an encore appearance in EBII.

    As of right now we don't know. Honestly though, every unit is being reevaluated. We have access to new information, new interpretations by different members, etc so expect changes for pretty much everything.

    If we can track down the information then you may see those units. We haven't gotten there yet so you'll need to be patient.

    Gee, who didn't see this response coming?

    lobf, I don't know what your problem is with this mod or with those units, but you need to understand the difference between unverifiable and "made up". One does not equal the other. As it stands, the team views those units as being concepted with unverifiable information and were thus inactivated in the mod. Until we can get someone to hit all the museum basements in the British Isles or get in contact with the original historian, their status will remain as unverifiable. I, and the team, would greatly appreciate it if you would reconsider your choice of words the next time you decide to post in a thread.

    Every nation had its champions. Eire should be no different. Especially with the island's proud warrior heritage.

    The problem is not the champions. The problem is the equipment. Remember, EB does not include LS even when it was in use during the time-frame.

    Can you think of a nation that would say it didn't have a proud warrior heritage?

    Switzerland? They've embraced neutrality... Then again there are the famed pikemen.[/obliviousness to rhetoric questions]

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    I recall a book that started with the letter "L." Can anyone remember the name of this thing? It was the basis for a bunch of the Irish stuff. It used to be listed on the EB site, but I think it's no longer.

    The Irish word for book starts with the letter L, so I'm afraid that doesn't narrow things down much. Was it that author, Luachmharleanbhan? The Lebor Gabala?

    EDIT:
    How about the Phoenicians?

    Luachmharleanbhan, that's it. It's mentioned here.

    Do I really need to go on?
