    Just wanted to share that with my latest VI game (Picts, expert) I have spotted for the first time Welsh Bandits , was around 866. The Welsh got never raided and taken a good part of the former Mercian kingdom, which was thrown in the same year into civil war as their Saxon neighbours. Both were simply to eager to stop pictish bolts

    BTW I know there was once a topic about it, but I couldn't find. I was also unable to use the search function - have I been bad ?

    Cheers

    I've heard some die hards are trying to bring the native language back from the dead

    Welsh is still a very-much-alive language. In parts of north, west and central Wales it's still the "first" language of many families. Road signs etc. appear in both languages throughout most of the country.

    and there are still welsh language schools, and welsh language television programs and radio stations. It's very much alive, but very ard to understand ecause almost all letters have different sounds in welsh.
    I was trying to find some help in the ancient military journals of General Tacticus, who's intelligent campaigning had been so successful that he'd lent his very name to the detailed prosecution of martial endeavour, and had actually found a section headed "What To Do If One Army Occupies A Well-Fortified And Superior Ground And The Other Does Not", but since the first sentence read "Endeavour to be the one inside" I'd rather lost heart.
