Re: Do you want new resources?
I really am not to sure, but I think your right. The Caucaus area (Caucasians) is I think where the Indo Europeans started out. The Celts, Germans and Scythian peoples are Indo Europeans, but I'm not to sure about the whole thing. But they are related, I do know that.

Re: Do you want new resources?
Even if they had taken steppe horses, they would've done so thousands of years earlier, so the breeds would alter over time. So, Germanic/Gallic horses would not be similar to steppe horses, they would look different, from grooming habits, diet, etc. So, they would raise their own horses, not bring in steppe horses (except for some ponies and a as 'exotic' gifts for njobles). While they possibly originated from a similar strain, the horses would be different by 270 BC. Germans probably imported more steppe than Gauls, who possibly had some large horsebreeding operations (probably tied to Epona worship).

Pomeranians and German Shepherds originated from a common ancestor. Think about that and you'll have your answer. Indo-Europeans probably started out somewhere in Central Asia, btw.

Aren't the Caucaus mountains in Central Asia? I'm not sure though...

Caucaus mountains are just north of Armenia. Between the Black sea and the Caspian sea.Originally Posted by Steppe Merc
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
