    Reminds me: People do this online as Arverni, at least sometimes. It's a very strong force I'll say. 2k units each, but elite. Great anti-cav, great swordsmen...

    the Arjos may be seen as Elite from the MIC level, but mind you that they are historically used as very strong battle line holder, they are actually way to balanced the Arvernii, so they won't lose to Aedui (Carnute is elite, extremely good swordsmen, and still could "druidic chant" the line, who gave all nearby unit +5 attack, +5 defense skill, and some really big ammount of morale, effectively turning a line of bataroas and gaelaiche into a force capable of matching most elite infantry (but hey, the Drwdae also doing that... but they are relatively weak swordsmen, actually)

    You're the historian of the world mate, I figured that out ages ago! But yeah, you tell me they're historically used as a battle line holder and then tell me they're used in the game to balance the Arverni against the Aedui. I don't think any intentional manipulation of what one would historically see to balance something out, or rather "balance" it out, would really be in-line with the whole historicity, understand?

    Don't count on it. I don't believe in most of this bull anyway. I've lost faith in all humanity (this is where you laugh). Unless I hear it from a CA developer, I ain't believin' ****.

    too bad, twc is down....

    ADD : and if I was right, the logic behind that bonus was because the "command" bonus allready increased morale, and that don't need special manouvers to be performed (eq Druidic chant) - And Carnutes did allready had command

    Maybe Warcry? That certainly increases attack.

    There may be a small increase to attack or defense(sincei t makes celtic axemen >> principes but it is certainly not +5/+5.

    But yeah, that's a good find for online. Its probably just like +1/+1 or +2/+2 with some moral bonus. Scary.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
