The Iberian tank units (whatever theyre called) and the cycles of dom etc.

[HumphreysCraig00]

First off 3 questions about the lusotanian tank units (armoured shock infantry) cant remember theyre name :(

1 What evidence of them do you have as they are really interesting to me (partially because Im a believer that more armour = better if you have to fight) and I would like to read it if it is readily available.

2 Are the Dark/Black warriors who are armed pretty much in the same way the same unit just the celts called them one thing and the iberians called them another?

3 Is the tract which is still being translated that is mentioned in the black warrior description available to read as again im interested in reading it.



And the cycle of Dom and the other cycles (theres at least one more mentioned in the game ive inly seen it thrice though), what are they?

Thanks for any answers

Dont quote me on this as Im not an expert, but I'm pretty sure I saw it on these forums a while back. The Cycle of Dom, and the other used by EB are Druidic accounts of Celtic history. Again dont quote me, I would be happy for anyone to correct me on this, as its been ages since I saw that thread and I'll be damned if I can remember what it was.

Darn, it'd be a wonderful thing if someone knew if these Cycles were published textually. I would like to collect them and keep them in a set and read one every night. It'd make a wonderful addition to my history library.

Id love to read them as well

Another comment from the Peanut gallery in favor of acquiring these texts, from the Illustrious King of Pontos, Mithradates.

so if they haven't been published, how does EB have them?
do we have some Celtic translators on the team?

Seems that the Hoplites of Emporion fought them and some lived to tell about it. I quote our Lusotannan expert. He can give you more info.

Well there ARE subtle differences. Check their legs for more. They are unarmored. I needn't say that Dosidataskeli are my favorite Lusotannan, with Ambakaro Epones running close second.
