Casse

[Celtic_Punk]

They are immensely strong, and overwhelmingly powerful. Champions are killllers... my only hatred is the lack of proper cavalry... i bloodywell hate chariots they are totally worthless in medium engagements to large battles.

do you get proper cavalry later-on? or are they only found in non homeland areas?

im starting my conquest of ireland, i plan to take them by force and then prepare for the invaison of europe. should i hit the beaches of normandy? go through calais? or hit spain and calais and close the gap?

I couldnt possibly be able to tell you if they come later but chariots have a role if you know how to use them.

The fear they inflict on enemy troops.
When attacked by enemy cavalry that you will face in Gaul they seem to inflict great causualties, even if they arent great fighters.

Also your fighting with what the best the British Isles could give 2300 odd years ago.
Wise up!!! The British tribes were not fielding heavy calvary at this time. This is not an organised "empire building" culture your playing with its Iron age farmers who live in what was then the very edge of the world. British and Irish horses at the time would be little more then ponies and such could not support a heavy armoured man on their backs.

This game is about Historical accuracy some unit types in the Casse Roster are already questionable and i think Heavy calavry unit would be Taking the Mik on a massive scale!

Do a forum search. There are many threads about the chariots.
Anyway, if you use them properly, they are enourmously overpowered.
Each chariot unit has around 350 killings each battle with me.

You can recruit better cavalry in Gaul.

According to the RV there is some sort of caledonian cavalry in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but they dont have a unit card. Other than that there is the Belgian cavalry and Brihentin down in Gaul.

To be honest I found Casse to be a very easy campaign, all I did at first was use the army you start with, and an extra unit of archers (mercs). With that army you have to attack Ictis, set the archers up in fire mode, and then, when the units start routing you absolutly have to pursue them.

After that you can build some larger armies, with which to attack the other inhabitants of the isles. Once you get the Belgea Swordman (melnaht?) it could n't get any easier, especially with the archers in firemode routing a lot of units, at least in my experience... and the economy is great, after a while you can just bribe cities on the mainland.
