Unit Description
Celtic Warriors are available to all factions from Ireland and Wales during the Early period. They have good attack and charge coupled with no armour and poor defense, meaning they will kill and be killed very quickly during melee. Unlike most other sword units, Celtic Warriors come have a larger unit size (100 instead of 60 men on default sizes), so they can overwhelm spears and other sword units. They have a small shield which helps protect them both from missiles and in melee.
Because of their low armour, Celtic Warriors are a good unit for desert fighting.
