I always wondered what it would be like to have awesome Celtic heavy infantry alongside awesome Greek phalanxes. what do you guys think? Am I crazy? (obviously) or can my dream become reality with the help of the EB team?

Re: Greco-Celts?
You can already get your hands on that combo as the successor factions & KH & Pontos... so, kinda: what are you waiting for?

Would the name Galatia ring a bell ?

Re: Greco-Celts?
Theres a few historical references to Gallogracians, such as ones that appeared at the battle of Magnesia I think it was, but these could have been Galatians that had mixed with natives, the offspring of them that could have taken on some Greek manners and culture, or, natives with Galatian/Gallic weapons and culture. Not too much detail is written on them. Just the name itself lends reference to some mix of Gaul and Greek in culture, blood, or both. In 198 B.C. Roman commander Vulso, referred to some of the Celts in Galatia as a degenerate mixed race (Gallogracian).

Play Dacia, build a lvl 4 factional MIC just south of the Danube and pour out Thracian Heavy Infantry and Dacian Phalanxes.
Re: Greco-Celts?
@TellosAthenaios: Idk what you're talking about with KH, those guys are the ultimate Greek-only faction. As for Pontos, they're just unsatisfactory all the way around. Their Celtic units are mediocre, as are their Hellenistic ones.
@Ayce: Every time i attempt a Getai campaign, it all ends up in the hole because i am either too far in debt to ever get out without cheating, or the Sarmatians or Germans come along and wipe out my puny domain that took me thirty turns to build.
I picked up the Ptolemaoi, and decided that they and their Galatian heavy infantry are pretty much what i was looking for. unfortunately, they have no hoplites, one of my favorite units. sad.
