Celtic Questions

[PSYCHO V]

A couple of things. I'm playing as the Aedui.

1. Brihentin. The celts need their 3rd reform to get them, but have them as guards at the start and other factions like Carthage can recruit them at the start. Also the galatian version, Lavotuxri are recruitable at the start.

2. Remi Mairepos. Where do you recruit these? I have the 3rd reforms and 3rd reform MIC at level 4 *the max since you can only get type 2 gov* on both mainland Belgae proviences but still can't get them.

3. 2nd Reform. Does this do anything? As far as I can tell, all it adds are Carnute Cingetos*love these* in their 1 provience, Cwmyr in Britian *and other midlander units for them I guess*, Milnaht *which are lovely*, and Gaelaiche. So other then a few regional troops, you only get 1 new troop type across a wide area. Am I just missing something or is there more out there. *Note I have all of gaul, ireland, north italy, and all of britian except the Casse town and the 1 right above that.*

One of the EB guys that has been working of recruitment probably needs to respond, but I'll add a few comments until then...

To be honest, I can't remember exactly how the reforms worked in 0.8.. but I do remember that there are major problems and the system has been reworked in 0.81.

This is what things should have looked like in 0.8, but I believe that wasn't the case.

REFORMS:

The Celts should have three reforms:

Early - Fiattobadatoa / Time of Freemen (Start Date)
Mid - Boannabadatoa / Time of Bondsmen (Approx 220 BC).
Arverni confederates had their debts paid by Boii chieftains Atis and Galatos for services against Rome.
Late - Neitomabadatoa / Time of Soldiers (Approx 120 BC)
8th August 121 BC at the Battle of Vindalium, King Bituitis and his Arverni led Alliance was defeated by Cnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Quintus Fabius Maximus of Rome. This sparked the colapse of the Arverni empire, a renewing of civil war in Gaul.

Time of Freemen

Iaosatae - Slingers
Lugoae - Militia
Gaeroas - Infantry
Botroas - Infantry
Bataroas - Infantry
Belgae Batacorii – Infantry
Mori Gaesum - Phalanx Infantry
Gaesatae - Elite Medium Infantry
Leuce Epos - Cavalry
Kindax - Chariot


Time of Bondsmen

Sotaroas - Archers
Gaelaiche - Infantry
Bagaudas - Infantry
Aljáz-Gae - Infantry
Pictone Neitos - Infantry
Belgae Milnaht - Infantry
Carnute Cingetos - Heavy Infantry
Taramonnos - Belgae cavalry
Kindax – Chariots No Longer Available for Gauls


Time of Soldiers

Arjos - Infantry
Neitos - Heavy Infantry
Solduros - Elite Heavy Infantry
Brihentin - Heavy Cavalry
Remi Mairepos - Heavy Belgae cavalry
Lugoae - Militia No Longer Available for Gauls


As mentioned, this has been completely reworked / improved in 0.81.

The Remi are belgae and are buildable in the belgae provinces. There should also be additional troops available such as the Venti Bagaudas, Pictone Neitos, Aljáz-Gae along the Rhine, etc.
EB did also have addtional regional Gallic units planned but it is now unlikely they'll be completed.
