Countdown to Open Beta - Swêbōz

If we're going to have gaesatae, wouldn't it help to give them some woad and tattoos to make them more accurate (unless EB has concluded that they didn't actually do that) and draw attention away from *ahem* their second weapon?

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Celts did not use tatoos. And just to ease your mind about accuracy...

[bodidley]

Yep, I've seen that picture before (I own the damn book )

But I've read that the gaesatae often painted themselves with woad before battle, and the Romans often asserted that as well (not that I trust their tall tales )

Perhaps I'm being a prude, but this is a case where I would rather not observe the anatomy of my animated army

Meh, I'll get over it.

That, my friend, is exactly the entire idea!

[bodidley]

Then perhaps we should spice things up with some ravishing Cimbri warrior women

Here we go again.....don't you guys play team sports? Or you just don't shower?

Yeah I've used a gang shower, and I made damn sure to hang onto my soap

[Dux Corvanus]

Ehem... I shower alone... and never play with naked guys...

[DemonArchangel]

Use the loincloth for f*ck's sake!

[Sarcasm]

Why?

Not by 270BC. 400BC yes, but not much after that.

Gallic warrior # 1: "True that. I was just dipping by the lake and :poof: it's gone! Now I'm all worked up!!
Gallic warrior # 2: "Helloooooo!? Anybody picked up my friend's precious pajamas? This is not funny!

Am I the only one who laughed me ass off at that?

[Samurai Waki]

God I just about have a Total Wargazm every time I check up on this mod. I've lost almost complete interest in RTR, keep up the kick-ass work guys.

[Lord Tomyris Reloaded]

I am so glad you'll provide an option not to have that evil loincloth! Historical accuracy all the way man!

I was under the impression that Celts used copper to achieve the blue ink that were used for tattoos...

Sorry. I meant Gauls, not Celts. Britons still used paintings (woad) by 270BC.
