Well maybe you guys could do another preview soon. And next time I won't dabble in black magic to gain my insight. But overall this is a great mod you've created, I am really enjoying my current Carthage campaign. Hats off to the entire EB team.

it's interesting that some of the image names are casse, averni, and aduei. i have no clue how any hellenic influence would get that far. hmmmm

Those units are probably recruitable in hellenic provinces if conquered by Casse, Arvernii or Aedui, so it's more of celtic influence spreading to Hellas. Don't take this as a fact for I have a slight tendency of being stupid.

I would say they'll be recruitable somewhere in asia minor for the seleucs, ptolies and pontos, other helens: around ancyra

and for Case, Arveni and Aedui in helenic towns on the medetirian cost - like massila

There were celtic mercenaries on every Hellenistic power that was. They influenced heavily the Hellenistic states of the era. The old round "hoplon" full bronze shield was gradually phased out, in favor of the celtic thureos. They were influenced in return. Those living near Hellenic cities/states or those who had fought with Hellenic armies would arm themselves thus, and fight in that manner. Greeks had a great deal of respect for the Celts... Probably after the fate of Ptolemaios Keraunos, who fought them...

Historical reference would be Massilians and Galatians, who had 'Hellenized' or 'Celticized' warriors, who adopted various bits and pieces of the other culture's society. Very interesting mixture of things, at that, and we thought it'd be a nice touch for Celts invading Greece, or Hellenes in Celtic territories, to also perhaps get similar units, representing the integration of some locals who willingly embrace some aspects of the foreign culture.
