Galatian Help

Well you could give them rainbow colored ninjas too, but since EB is an anally historical mod if it didn't happen historically then its an odd fit.

The fact is that very few Galatians fought in phalanxes, and those that did more often than not lived in Egypt as second or third generation immigrants in the first place, and never returned to Galatia. Overwhelmingly, the mercenaries that Egypt always hired from Galatia were the sort of heavy infantry, sword and board with a mail coat that you see reflected in the Ptolemy faction roster.

Whatsmore there is no record of Galatian Kings, either in 272 BC or 60 BC using phalangitai. If you really want a pike armed Galatia hire some mercenaries.

Hey, I just figured out what to do with traits. While was wandering through the traits list. I found the name CasseTectosage (I'm replacing the casse). I noticed this was one of the tribes that setteled down in Galatia, and mixed with the Tolistoboiis and Trogmis. I looked a few places down, and found Cassetrogmi and Cassetolistoagii (in other words, the tolistoboii). I will show the varying ethninticity of the galatians with different people having tectosage, tolistoboii, and trogmi traits. The Galatians of Tylis will have the trogmi trait, I think. I am pretty sure they are the ones who settled a little in greece. All people will have their ethiniticity in their name as well. Ex: Lugotorix The Tolistoagii. tell me what ya think.
