Hello everyone, new user here.
During my Lusotannan campaign I couldn't help but wonder about the connection between Iberian tribes and Ireland. I knew from my readings that there were huge trade exchanges between Spain and Ireland in ancient times, but the fact that Ireland was populated by Iberians came as news to me.
What I knew about the connections between those two lands was that the spiral motifs on many steles and pottery (also found in Scotland IIRC) were also very common in neolithic Iberia (but I always personally believed it was due to the pre-indoeuropean substratum). I also know about the Milesi theory about the invasions of Ireland, but I thought it had little or no historical basis. Anyway, Lusotannan leaders claiming rights over Ireland came as news to me :D
also, I found out that the now disabled units Dosidataskeli and Dubosaverlacica (if I spell correctly) were hinted to be a link between the two peoples (like, dubosaverlacica being sort of "descendants" of heavily armored warriors from Iberia). I also read that they were disabled due to lack of proof. What I mean is: where can I find the historical evidence for the supposed existence of these amazing man-tanks? And what about the supposed ancient Iberian colonization of Ireland?
Thank you very much to whoever has some info on the topic
