i really appreciate all of the advice. i'm definitely going to get started on a Scotish campaign tonight. the main reason that i haven't already is because i was kinda torn between using them or Ireland.

i really hate to keep throwing questions at you but do you recommend using the Lowland Clansmen as your spear units or is it pretty easy to tech up and get something better? i'm guessing that since Scotland can't train Chivalric Knights, Chivalric Sgts are probably out of the question too.
