I tried playing as the Gauls in vanilla and I just couldnt, they were too bland and boring. "warband" "sword warband" "CHOSEN!warband" etc. etc.

...And the "forester" warband, particularly made me want to die inside
I know what you mean. I also gave up on them after a few years into the game (read destroying Rome utterly...). But fear not! Generic-Gaul is no more! You're gonna love playing with them.

Lots of variety, accurate and interesting descriptions, awesome skins and a well-rounded roster will make, arguably, one of the most charismatic armies in the EB.
