I know you're able to play as the celts. But what kind of Celts? the Irish,the French or the Celts in the scottish highlands? Hopefully it's the Irish cause then I'll buy the game

Gallic tribes are plyable from the beginning, I assume there will be playable brittanic and iberian celts at later start dates. I sincerely hope the irish are not included.

AFAIK (and I do know), Belgrade was founded by Celts. The tribe named Singi (by Romans) founded the city and therefore Romans called the city - Singidunum. I'd understand if this Celtic tribe is to be omitted, but Irish ones... ?
I hope Ireland is not on the map for several reasons;
1. The Romans never reached Ireland
2. Ireland would only be useless territory on the map (I doubt there will be playable tribes), and I am not even sure barbarian hordes can build fleets, so they would be useless as spawners.
3. There are already too much barbarian territory, instead of barbarians the eastern parts of the Parthian Empire should be included.
4. Say Ireland is on the map and there's playable irish factions, what functions could they have, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to unite Ireland (fairly easy in all Paradox games), but what then?? Ireland didn't have that much contact with the mediterranean area before the roman conquest of Brittain.

Yeah, Ireland strikes me as pretty irellevent in a game of Rome. Unless one wishes to attempt Agricola's ambition of conquering the island with one legion.
There will be an expansion: EU Rome: Agricola's Ambition which solely focus on campaigning in ireland with one legion.lwarmonger said:

Perhaps this is a good mod idea for an Irishman?
History != Paradox Game, there for perhaps the Irish will go to conquer England, take their manpower and take to the mainalnd? Who knows...*shrug*

They do say a Welshman is an Irishman who can swim.... I mean jesus, the weather in Ireland is worse than here in England, and thats saying something!
Ireland will be on the map as for there being a starting country I doubt it, if a barabarian horde gets over there then perhaps there is a chance that one of them will settle down.
they would need a lot of boats and wood. So I don't think so.yourworstnightm said:

Well then the Irish would all drowned on the way across. Problem solved for the Romans! With Ireland emptied perhaps they could conquer it with a single legion.

Nooo they're a tough breed, some would make it (natural selection at work)!!!!
So, by your "logic", the Irish minors in EU3 should have been omitted, since they were steamrolled by the English. :rofl: Or how about the Gallic minors? Could've cut those guys out too. Carthage definetly needs to go, Rome burned their city down after all!yourworstnightm said:
Seriously, this game is about changing history. Just because the Irish(Goidils) didn't leave their homes and conquer an empire doesn't mean that they weren't capable of trying.(Nial of the Nine Hostages anyone?)

Depends how the Horde works, chances are they will just randomly spawn.
