I've heard it mentioned many times that Gaesate fought often as mercenaries. I am curious as to why they are not recruitable as mercenaries (I checked the mercenaries file and they aren't there).
Why are there no Gaesatae Mercenaries?

Re: Why are there no Gaesatae Mercenaries?
While they did fight as mercenaries (i.e. for others in exchange for pay) they were very picky about who they fought for, so we didn't think the RTW merc system would be appropriate. Many units fall under the same situation.

Interesting. So why did they choose to fight for, say Hannibal, and later at Telamon?Originally Posted by QwertyMIDX

No those are the Tindanotae, the Galatian version of the Gaesatae. Galatians belong to the portion of Celts who were extremely warlike; and Galatians weren't above service to any master provided he had the money to afford them AFAIK.
