    3. Did they come back? AFAIK the Galatians settled quite happily in Egypt. Similarly, I am not sure that Galatians actually served in phalanx units.
    2. First of all, the Galatians werent one single tribe. They are just called the galatians, because of their new home. Now, the celts in Thylis were members of the same tribes as the people, who lived setlled in Galatia. They invaded Greek togher then split up. They are the same people as the Galatians, so its more realistic to give them to the Galatian faction, then having them fight each other...
    3. What do you mean by did they come back? They were Galatians, who settled in Egypt, but many more just fought in the service of the Ptollis and Seleuks as Mercenarys and the Galatians adopted more and more greek culter as you can see from their coins, which in later times often displayed greek god like heracles etc. So why not give them phalangitai?
