Slightly off topic but remember when we were supposed to have 40k MP armies and I could take Casse with 12 Kluddargos, a chariot, nakeds and druids? Most OP army ever lol.

Back on topic, I forgot Milnaht which are available in your starting province and right across the channel. Use them instead of Botroas if you can afford it. They are great medium infantry.

Milnaht are heavy infantry, they're one of the best celtic units available. They can hold the line (with or without guard mode) but are also great flankers because of their very good stamina, perfect for fighting the romans.

I agree about the Milnaht. Haven't said anything yet, even though Casse are among my favourite campaigns, because everything made good sense. It's a pity that Milnaht have such a small AoR because they really rock the boat. Don't forget about Belgic Heavy Cav either, they come in handy in certain situations.

Lack of armor hurts. So the correct classification is Medium Infantry. They get shredded by pila/soliferum/javelins and wont do as line infantry unless facing hoplites.

So just because they wear merely helmets they must be medium infantry? Okay, when you say that, it must be right.
They work fine for me as line infantry, what units do you use instead when playing celts?

No offense, but they work for you as line infantry because you are fighting the AI. Against human players, Milnaht are better suited in the back as flankers or to support a wavering main line after javelins have been expended. They certainly have the morale and discipline to hold the line, but as Lazy was saying, they will get torn to shreds in a javelin exchange with true heavy infantry like Thorakitai or Legionaries. As the Arverni or Aedui use Neitos as line infantry as they are heavier and have a wider AOR. As the Casse its a bit trickier and Milnaht will have to do unless you are rich enough to afford Calawre. Though sometimes its best not to form a main line except as a diversion and use your mobile infantry to swarm the flanks along with the localized fear effects of druids, chariots and units like Uridusios to quickly break your opponent.

That's all fine and probably correct in an MP environment, I don't know enough about MP to judge this correctly but when I play Casse in a campaign I tend to use armies that are at least a bit realistic and an army made up of champions is not ^^ - Usually my main line is helf by Milnaht and also Botroas, Gaeroas, a good mix of units. Sure, that's not the OP army that would break anything apart but I can't make myself run around with an army consisting of Rycalawre and Kluddargos.

This thread is about the campaign and not MP.
