Celtic overpowered!

Maksimus, I can't offer you a balloon or anything, because that's someone else's line, but I apologise for my aggressiveness. I just get a little cooked up whenever someone attacks an EB member. They suffer too much abuse already. Just to let you know, to my knowledge, there are no nazis in the team, and the "STFU Donny" thing is absolutely hilarious if you've seen the movie. I say it sometimes to my brother, but Zak, you shouldn't say it to a stranger. Shame on you. Anyway Maksimus, get your hands on "The Big Lebowski". Most video rentals should have it. It's guaranteed to make you burst. After you've seen it, you'll know it wasn't a personal attack, just something to lighten up the mood.

Anyways...

- so, that is no insult and sorry if it looked like one.

I'm glad. I wasn't sure at all...

- or if one can say that there was (and I can refer that there were) a greater chance of a Roman soldier to get healed after battle -- how can that be implemented -- there are just thousands of possible 'tweaks' that could sease these arguments if only they 'could' be in RTW - but they cant because of RTW engine limits..right?

It's somewhat possible, and I think it has been implemented. Roman FM's get doctors and those kinds of ancillaries that increase the casualty survival rate. I'm not sure if they get them more frequently than others though..

...but If someone is trying to say that Romans had no 'other' 'cleaning' tools - is mistaken - they have (and some very rich people still use) used olive oil and herbs that is very effective - and no soap can put your body parts back onto you - but it can be done by a Roman medic..

Even Roman medicine can't put dismembered bodyparts back together, although those herbs and olive oil would make them delicious. The Celts, on the other hand, can use soap to clean them up and make a trophy, so it's a 50/50 situation. Looks vs. taste. It's a matter of opinion.

Sorry, I had to do it. What I was going to say is that I don't know how effective herbs and olive oil are at killing bacteria, and that I think they were mostly used for the scent and keeping skin moist. You know, cosmetics, not actual disease preventers.

-- and I am no Roman fanboy -- I really use tactics to win and I havent even played with Romans in EB.

My bad.

- few of my generals (upgraded and high level)
just can not kill one Galatian shortswords unit...

Which faction do you play with? Seleucid, Macedonian and Ptolemaic hetairoi bodyguards hack through them like butter, but I reckon something like Pontic bodyguards are a different story.

And if its hard to see how food has anything to do with an army, his people and state and the way it is used and prepared - then I have no comment - exept - try to run for 20 minutes and practise for a while (that is why new sources are important) And remmember what happent to Romans when they started to use lead?

Well, to defend myself, you weren't actually referring to the relationship of food and military. I was just saying that Celts didn't go to McDonald's, so they ate pretty normal food. I doubt the diet of a "midclass" Roman was that much different from a "midclass" Celt's. Except for the booze.

...sorry for my opinion

Never say that.

note: disgrace to these forums and humanity as whole can be a tittle of one Nazi - and very sarcastic people (whom I hope) dont live in a sarcastic way - that is bad for your society and your friends

I try not to be sarcastic all of the time, but disgrace is my second name.
