    The Celts used their chariots more as "battle taxis" (and javelin-tossing platforms) for elite warriors rather than as shock vehicles à la scythed chariots, true enough. (Though obviously a roaring charge would be cheerfully mounted if an opportunity presented itself, and running down routing enemies was obviously better done with the chariot than on foot.)

    Three guesses if the engine allows for that ?

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."
