Royal Scynthia - Help!

Could anyone kindly post and tell me;

1. What I need to build to get spear infantry or any infantry that doesnt run on the sight of blood?

I'm kind of reached a stand still; Celtic enemies have so many stacks of units that I run out of arrows.

Research heavily into ammo.

Also use cataphracts and other heavy cavs to pin... generally I don't run any infantry in my armies

They don't have infantry. Research ammo stuff and use spies and night battles to fight only one army at a time. Actually I am not sure if they can fight night battles.

Why wouldn't they? Just need to spec for it in general's skills, which I think is a common tree for all factions. Or is there some other factor for "night eligibility"?

They do have some infantry but none that are worthwhile

Wasn't sure if it was a common tree. I only ever saw it for Romans and Greeks but I only ever played thoroughly with them as well :D

The Encyclopaedia shows the characters' skill trees, and is presented as universal, not faction-specific.

That said...the Encyclopaedia is hardly a complete reference, so I feel rather shaky in using its info as "conclusive".

Can any players with barbarian/nomad experience confirm that these generals' skill trees conform to the Graeco-Romans'?
