    Default Celtic Questions

    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.*
    I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.

    Is he hurt? Everybody asks that. Nobody ever says, 'What a mess! I hope the doctor is not emotionally harmed by having to deal with it.'

    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.


    RECRUITMENT:

    MIC 1

    Lugoae
    Gaeroas
    Iaosatae
    Sotaroas
    Gaelaiche
    Aljáz-Gae
    Belgae Batacorii

    MIC 2

    Bagaudas
    Botroas
    Bataroas
    Pictone Neitos
    Belgae Milnaht
    Gaesatae
    Kindax
    Leuce Epos
    Taramonnos

    MIC 3

    Mori Gaesum
    Carnute Cingetos
    Arjos
    Neitos
    Solduros
    Brihentin
    Remi Mairepos


    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.

    Sounds like a lot of work was done for 0.81!

    Wow I'm definatly saving that list, thanks. But I figured out why Remi Mairepos can't be recruited, because you need a level 5 mic, but you can only build a level 4 *type 2 gov*. The same goes for the Goidilic Foot Nobles and the Goidilic Black Shields.

    EB did also have addtional regional Gallic units planned but it is now unlikely they'll be completed.
    Dam, that sucks. But will they not be made for the next patch, or not make it in at all?

    I'm curious too.

    There are still Lingones and a few other tribes with units planned to show off some of the more notable aspects of them. Not sure what Psycho means, I know there's still actually a fair number to be done.
