I also want to know which faction those drwdae guys belong to and what king of role they'll play?

I have only my spear to slay my next meal, my cloak to keep me warm, my sword and shield to defend my people. Duty and glory to my home is greater than my strengths can ever be. I am too weak to serve it rightly. However, I will fight for it, in hope that it will be enough.

Well, Drwdae sounds rather celtish and their trousers look quite trillby, perhaps some new unit for the Casse?
My guess is that it's the druid unit the Casse were supposed to get. The druids were going to be a well-equiped unit, but not exceptional fighters.Originally Posted by Basileus Seleukeia

drwdae are druids, AFAIK. Or some kind of druidic-elite guardsman or something. Anthony could explain better of course.

We were trying really hard for something with a goofy white beard, hair, and cloak or this,
but Anthony wouldn't bite.
Wow, looks great!
I found the trait "Passed Under the Yoke" a bit weird at first, but a quick Google search revealed this, so am I to take it that this is a trait for a non-Roman General who has been well and truly routed by Rome? Or a Roman General who has been routed by someone else?
Still, looks intriguing :)
Also, I read that routing generals in M2TW are captured by the victor instead of running away irritatingly (the victor can then choose their fate, apprently). Will you use "Passing under the Yoke" as an option in EB2 then? It would humiliate the general and maybe make others less eager to go to war with you?
Greek Strategy Map Commands?
can we expect Latin or Celtic strat. map commands too?
being forced to pass under the yoke was the most humiliating thing a roman army would be forced to do in the republican period, you can consider it like losing an eagle in later eras. look up the caudine forks, or the losses in the jugurthine war initially if you want to learn more about it. really this trait could be for more than romans actually. But yes, it will have to do with a roman general suffering a humiliating defeat or the routing of his army or something along those lines.

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Yeah I downloaded the lighting patch from the TWC link and it's better but just a bit too dark, but like I said better than before I'd say the units looks just right when selected (highlighted) maybe they should be like they are when highlighted all the time and a bit brighter when selected.
That's what I understood, although the EB member (I think it was Anthony) emphasized that the druids won't be particularly skilled fighters.Originally Posted by Watchman

So sort of like BI priests, right?Originally Posted by Ludens
Also, Ludens, just out of interest, does your name mean "playing"? Because "ludo" is "I play" if I'm not mistaken. Cheers!
Units look great guys.![]()
Of special note, the Cordinau Orcaa is well done. Shield design, colours, helmet etc are all great.
The Drwdae is equally well done (especially the depiction of the shield) but I don't believe the helmet the best choice of depiction for the unit. A tonsure, golden sun head band and slightly longer beard would have been a far better choice for such a unique unit Imho. I did explain / discuss this with Ranika / Anthony when I formulated the design of the unit some years ago.
Yup. The Drwdae should actually be fairly average fighters, just have excellent morale. They should be noticeably worse than the continental Cingetos.Originally Posted by Ludens

Exempt if they so wished. Many chose to fight and were still doing so against Caesar in Gaul etc.Originally Posted by Martinus X

Er, well Rome: Total War is a realtime strategy game made by the Creative Assembly and Activision, in which you control a faction and try to conquer the world (in a nutshell) - Europa Barbarorum is a player-based mod (modification) which extends the scope of the game, makes it more historically accurate, adds various elements to it (like new units and a new building system) and so on.Originally Posted by ceaserthewarrior
