Very true.... but what if I get to Scotland 100yrs before and face hordes of kilt wearing clansman?

Kilt is much later historically and I believe that the Scots were actually not there yet, the region was called Pictland, admittedly many modern Scots have Pict blood, but the Scots were an Irish tribe at the time, if I remember right, the Picts wore clothes similar to those found with Brigante or Belgae meaning tunic, leggings, and other items depending on the season.

The Picts were however a rather strong, sometimes brutal tribe known for all sorts of unpleasant activities at least according to the histories of the Romans, so if the northern provinces of Britannia are in the game then the Picts should be there as a nomadic raider nation.

I sure hope so!

(crossing fingers for Rome to Dark Ages to EU to Victoria to HOI conversions, 2000+ years of strategy gaming greatness )

Yeah, it'll be totally awesome to conquer all of Europe before 27 BC and then have to sit around for 1500 years before you can move on. And man-o-man, HOI will rock to sit there watching the hours tick away, since you conquered the world back in 1550.

I've found, for example in CK: DV, that reloading as a minor unimportant nation, grabbing some popcorn, and spending a century watching the AI completely wreck and destroy your giant empire is a capital way to not have to worry about that.

Heh, that's not a bad idea.

Methinks more like poor Ayeshtini!

I bet he's less worried about scots on eu:rome then about the possibility to mod in Milla Jovovichii
