    Attuaca is still there, but probably going to change it to Traprain Law; map changes are rather slow for us usually, as they aren't an overt priority at the time. However, it is noted somewhere, and will be done.

    We have only one Professor of any repute in the whole country and they have recently retired.

    The Megaws perchance?

    Glad you're getting the Cunliffe book Psycho. It's a good read.

    Not heard of Kruta, but then i was always slightly weak on the continental Celts. Shame as i had two lecturers who had worked on them. Personally prefered the LBA East Med and Iron Age Britain and Ireland though. I'll keep an eye out.

    Ranika, it's a hard one i know. Traprain Law is one of the best choices, but it's a difficult settlement to name in game. Perhaps creating a P Celtic name for it is the best thing - i think i've seen a translation of it as 'wood town hill' or something? You'd know better with this - linguistics aren't my forte. But i realise of course that there are a million more important things to get sorted first before moving onto this.

    It's something like 'Wood Town Hill' or more loosely 'Wood Fort' or 'Wood Home'. Can probably come up with something decent for it though.

    ''Do you by any chance have a picture of that Decorated home comb?''

    oops i meant to write 'bone comb'.


    it's not the same artefact, but the comb on the right here is the closed i can find on the net - http://www.scran.ac.uk/database/reco...searchdb=scran . The ones at the bottom of this page are always fairly similar - http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...UTF-8%26sa%3DN

    In fact, there is much debate -and polls- to decide what is the most reasonable and plausible choice, when we find unavoidable source gaps, lack of evidence or simple controversial matters.

    Ancient History is still full of mist and blind points, and since we cannot simply overlook them, we are forced to support with solid arguments what we think are the best assumptions to fill the gap.

    That's the case with some of the less documented factions, or with some simplifications that the gameplay forced us to adopt -such as having Iberia -a cultural mosaique- as an unified faction, etc.

    We won't pretend EB to be a summa of historical accuracy, but, believe us, we try really our best to approach as a historically informed representation of Late Iron Age Western world as the game limits -and the limits of our knowledge- allow.
