    Hey all;

    Started a Celt campaign once having seen this thread,
    and I admit, it is great fun all around. They do start with
    great funding and resources, although the Hounds are a bit
    overextended logistics wise. I admit, the Celts keep a great
    economy based on the Peasant garrison, and once into Saxony,
    the mainland is all whether you want to go after the WRE or
    your fellow barbarians. I did the latter, and found that
    Gallowglasses are a match for any Infantry unit on the mainland.
    I was nervous when the Romano British arrived, but I had generated
    enough cavalry through inhertance, that the Warlords and Graals
    were no match. The one thing that I would suggest is eliminating
    Saxony once Britannia is consolidated, not only for the resources,
    but most importantly, making your natural enemies bite the dust.

    I think the Gallowglasses are the best heavy infantry unit in the game hands down. A bit slow but they sure pack a big punch.

    Hey all;

    16 provinces with the Celts on H/H is getting to be tough. I am in
    a tough war with the Burgundii, but I am getting the upper hand. So far
    I've had some great battles.
    My question is about the celt Bugfixer, I've read that it will get you
    some better missile units, but I am weary that it will affect my current
    savegames. Can anyone help me?

    AFAIK the bugfixer unlocks the Pictish Crossbowmen unit, a Celtic unit available in Custom Battles/Multiplayer but not in the campaign (bug?) I haven't found bugfixer modifications (the simpler ones at least) to have a compatability problem, but I'd check the readme of whatever modification you're using, just to be sure.

    Hey thanks for the suggestion, I figure this might help a bit, my slingers
    can't slaughter enough Lombard Berserkers! I'm sending Assassins to
    Sabotage their temples... It seems like the only way...

    Enjoy the screenshot!

    I've looked around but I can't find the bugfixer. Can somebody post a like perhaps? After being slaughtered by the Romano-British I really do need some decent missle troops. Throwing rocks at the enemy just isn't going to cut it.
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
