  1. Ugly Women

    I can find no references to there being Celtic noblewomen leading armies. Can you post some of yours?

    Well, besides the obvious examples of Boudica and Cartimandua, both Celtic queens who led armies, I can point to a direct record of Celtic women-warriors opposing Gaius Seutonius Paulinus's descent on the isle of Mona during his 50 CE expedition in Tactius, Annals, 14.30.
  2. Faction Research: Gaul

    The "Ugly Women" thread reminded me of something.  Tacitus and Ammianus Marcellinus both mention Celtic noblewomen leading armies and participating in battles.  I also seem to recall a diplomatic dispute, some time between Caesar's initial landing in Britain and the final Roman conquest when the Romans were playing their usual game of divide and conquer with the Briton nobility, when their aribitrator stripped a female noblewoman of her title to rule a small kingdom in southern Britannia because they did not recognize a female inheritor to the throne.

    I've not seen any evidence to indicate that Celtic women-warriors were widespread enough to warrant dedicated units, but it would be kosher for one or two of the Gallic characters to be female rather than male.  I can't imagine it would require any change of game mechanics either, depending on how the base game's gender tags work.  Hardly a crucial point, but the option for male player characters to marry into the Celtic nobility the same way female player characters could would be an interesting way to add extra differentiation to the Gallic faction.

    Need some female armors also...

    No thx , women had no reasons to wear armor in those times .

    There were certainly Celtic noblewomen who led armies and fought, and the Celtic nobility's armor was the basis the Roman lorica suits.
  4. I Think My New Sword Has Been Bunted

    There's a reason troops on foot don't generally try to use swords on mounted troops.
  5. Most kills with the Hand Cannon

    I got blown up by one of my own cannoneers in a cavalry melee, does that count?
