Hints for the Lusitans?

[Krusader]

Too late for that now, though.

I have rebuilt *some* strenght, but the inicial stack's are all gone, and only recently did I become capable of recruiting horse-riders again. The Carthaginians are walking around with full stacks also.

Besides, isn't it a bit reckless to atack what could be my greatest allies against Rome when it comes? Carthaginians don't seem hostile to me at all - and I'm leaving their natural expansion ground alone for the time beeing (the med shores) so I reckoned it would be more of my interest to keep the status quo.

Just wondering I am...

Another question by the way: why is Eire a colonization spot for Lusitans?

Because Iberians settled in the southern parts of Ireland...also think they returned the favour by settling in Galicia later on.

Here's the description that might help:

Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha, "Noble Black Warriors", are an absolute elite of all of the Goidilic tribes. They stem from only a single tribe, the influential Iverni (descendants of the Vasci - Iberians invaders of Hibernia). They are armored in Ceannlann (Shawn-lun), "Fish Scale". It is a layer of scales upon linen, upon chain. This multi-layer armor covers their body, and is nearly impenetrable. These nobles are so called for the black markings on their weapons. They are always of an incredibly small number, their armor is actually probably inherited, due to the great expense and difficulty in producing it. Their faces are hidden behind a chain veil, giving them a truly otherwordly appearance. Their skill at arms is insurmountable, their armor is all but impenetrable. While tiny in number, they can defeat much larger numbers, and are nearly unstoppable. They are loyal, but somewhat lethargic, difficult to rouse to battle, requiring great deals of compensation, but they are easily among the greatest warriors in the known world. However, their slim numbers ensure they must be used wisely, or else be thrown away.

The Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha in Ireland are known from few sources. One, a mostly intact suit of Ceannlann only recently discovered, and another, the Luachmharleanbhan (Lok-mor-len-bon), "Precious Children", a lengthy tract, still being translated, on the warriors employed by the ancient Goidils and Belgae. They are noted at the fields of Firbosis, engaging the Firbolg ('sackmen', actually a slur for indepedent Belgae, and not related to the earlier people Firbolg, or the mythic Firbolg). The Belgae numbered in the thousands. The king of the Goidils sent "Lugh's Blessed", the Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha, ahead of his army, and they numbered only forty. The Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha had killed nearly one-third of the Belgae by the time the other Goidils reached the battle (surely an exaggerated report). This victory supposedly solidified the rule of a single Goidilic king into the early 1st century AD, over most of Ireland.
