Errrrr...Aedui...chariots??

[Dutchhoplite]

I'm fighting them in my Epirote campaign and they appear regularly...

I thought they only were used by Casse??

Anyone seen this before??

[The Celtic Viking]

No no, they're available to the mainlanders as well, though only for a limited amount of time and from a limited amount of settlements. I've never seen the non-Casse AI use them.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

They probably never triggered the Time of Bondsmen Reforms for whatever reason. The mainland Celts lose access to them with these.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Oh I thougth you could only get them when you invade the islands and build barracks there.

[SwissBarbar]

What? I never had them in my Arverni or Aedui campaigns. What to do to get them?

It's simple: conquer Bratosporios or Darioritum (or some settlements in Britain) and build up the MIC there before the first reforms hit. That's it.

Really? Could you post a pic? I've never seen the Aedui use chariots before...

[Dutchhoplite]

Yes, really

Their appearance in Northern Italy surprised me very much too! Unfortunately i've
got no pictures of them rolling to their demise ;)

Well historically they were present in Telamon in 225 bc :

"They themselves marched confidently out with their whole available army, consisting of about fifty thousand foot and twenty thousand horse and chariots, and advanced on Etruria."

"The Celts had drawn up facing their rear, from which they expected Aemilius to attack, the Gaesatae from the Alps and behind them the Insubres, and facing in the opposite direction, ready to meet the attack of Gaius' legions, they placed the Taurisci and the Boii from the right bank of the Po. Their wagons and chariots they stationed at the extremity of either wing and collected their booty on one of the neighbouring hills with a protecting force round it."

as stated by Polybius.

However according to the recruitment viewer are only available to the south of England and northern France.
Shouldn't they be available in Mediolanum too?

Actually, I also got that... avernii AI spamming chariots on my Lusotann campaign. BTW, they didn't hit the reform yet at 240 BC

...and were also used by the Gauls in Northern Italy in 196 BC.

Livy (XXXIII:37) describes a triumphal procession of one of the consuls of that year following a victory over the cisalpine gauls (its a bit unclear from the text whether it is the Insubres, Boii, or maybe the "Comani"):

"Large quantities of spoils, taken from the enemy, were carried in the procession in captured chariots, and many military standards; also, three hundred and twenty thousand asses of brass, two hundred and thirty-four thousand of silver denarii, stamped with a chariot."

Well that doesn't mean they were war chariots. Chariots as such are still in use today for transportation.
