    Default Suggestion for the Casse?

    Eventhough naval invasions are more current in MTW2,they don't happen much,so i have come with an idea for the casse to expand more and not to stay isolated,i suggest that the 2 settlements in belgium rebel to the casse,because in RL,the velgae did have relations with the celts in brittania,so it wouldn't be unhistorical(pardon me if it is)




    PS:sorry about bad language i'm in a hurry right now.

    As far as i know, a belgae tribe as a faction itself is still a possibility, so that point might go moot real fast. But yeah, not such a bad idea if the faction doesn't happen. Then again, i have no idea wether it's historical or not.

    1. This is totally backward. If the Belgae moved from the continent to Britain, what justifies the retrograde movement?
    2. The connexions between the Belgae and Britain (whatever form they took) don't occur until ca. 100 BCE, maybe just a little earlier- so this wouldn't apply to the start of the game.

    Sorry Maximus but myself, Oudysseos and have others have already engaged in this discussion and sadly our conclusion was that the very earliest the Belgae could have been in Britain is c120BC.

    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-A-proposition Here is the thread. If you want I can reccomend some books which discuss the issue (or if your lucky you can wait till September and I will send you my dissertation on it!). But neverless a good thought on the Casse problem.

    If they were a lot more aggressive, would they be more tempted by naval invasions? i mean, it's just a feeling, but the AI seems to like sending naval invasions against me more than the other bots... i mean... portugal invading England in the early stages of the game? thats ridiculous.
    Maybe its more tempted to do it if it's scripted to be more aggressive towards someone that's overseas.

    Then again, that's probably unhistorical again. Just another thought.
