Could you name your sources? I have read Livy's description of the sack of Rome (ca. 390 BC) by Senones, but it doesn't resemble the story which you gave. Around 300 BC Gauls were already losing in Italy and while they still fought against the Romans they were crushed couple of decades later.
And seriously, Irish rulers of the Inca Empire. What the heck. And isn't Kukulkan a Mayan god (feathered serpent) rather than Inca tribe?
387 BC exactly but i'm not sure it was that date because rome was sacked several times it's why romans always wanted to invade that countries to pacify them but they didn't succeed until war of gaule with Cesar (58 to 51 BC ^^), pretty long time isn't it ?
what about gaulic ciscalpine invaded in 121 BC, in the game they invade it in -490 XD, too strong that roman lol
Livy is a Roman eye of history, as war of gaule by cesar is a roman view of what happened at this times but nowadays we know much more about the other cultures since year 2000 (approx...) were celtic mood came back i don't know why, they even tried to reestablish halloween festivity in countries that had forget it.
the problem is that there is to few clues of tribes living in northern europe, archeologist only found ancient lords tombs with lots of presents like in egyptian ways.
It wasn't in celtic ways to write things about because druidisme thought to write was a instable power in the sense you can write anything but they were able to, their education was essentialy oral, they have teaching class in their village but they never wanted to leave something by writing, they prefered to communicate historical fact by stories because they were found of mistyc histories and they were also polyteiste.
what about the well know D&D stories, where they wame from ? read more about celtic civ. now they have DRM on things that were told very long before they would never be thinking about making such games.
a lot of actual events came from the fact that were gaule were pacified in pax romana after the war of gaul by Cesar, they adapt local stories to convert people. but people can't negate some actual festivities comes at the same time as celtic paian festivities.
for my sources if you can read french yes, but i'm not sure you would, but if you're really insterested in making your own oppinion i could send you some serious books.
meanwhile I know what i say nothing to prove to unknown. read more books.
yes kukulkan is a mayan god but were his history went from ? there is strange similarity beetween era of kukulkan period and celtics possible travel to america, read more about kukulkan, serpent were also the emblem seen in drakars which have been used for long times by nordic civs and then invaded countries.
I'm not here to pass a master of history and I didn't say My date was exact but I wasn't that far.
to return to the game fails, we start in -500 (approx...) but rome wasn't that developped at this age, it was rather a pity country.
they should rename the game as "rome" and not universalis as well known encyclopedia as it is not that right.
the game was made in 2008 that's why i'm surprised to find so much errors in cultures and dates.
