Nice, send me some pictures later on if you want to. It is strange, when people hear that the Greeks called Gauls ''barbarians'' (barbaroi I think?) they often think it means uncivilised savages when it actually means non-greek.

Maybe, due to the Murus Gallicus being invulnerable to rams, it would have to cost wood and stone. As for the Belgae, that makes sense obviously as making a new faction isn't easy when you have other duties, so modders would have more ease doing it.

Oh, and I found some more ''French'' Celtic oppida pictures. The second image is Vesontio, the first was apparently Corent. http://andre63.canalblog.com/archives/2011/01/11/19931686.html

Aye, it is a heritage mix. I saw the Murus Gallicus in the editor and it looks good, but I think it needed improving in the sense of adding wall turrets and places for people to stand on walls. The colour also looked a bit reddish. Thanks. I don't disagree, the current models do seem historically accurate, they just look more like village buildings. The Civic Centre, as far as I know, doesn't look very accurate in terms of a city or oppidum centre (see the image I posted originally). A Belgae faction would be very cool though! Their unit names would be like a germanic and celtic mix. I agree, the heads shouldn't be there, as said before, the Gauls were people and people wouldn't be too pleased by rotting severed heads (not sure how well Cedar oil preserves them). Nice emphasis on the word civilisation, lots of people still think of them as a nomadic barbarian race. Despite archaeology disproving this.

Hi, as much as I love this game, the buildings of the gauls still don't seem like the buildings you'd find in their oppida. In other words, I have images of Gaulish buildings, wall types etc. So I'll post them here, obviously I understand building changes aren't easy to do. I saw on another thread someone suggested that as you age up (village phase, town phase etc.) your houses and buildings change. If that were to happen then here are images of Gaulish city buildings. A typical Gaulish city centre at the bottom, some other buildings (e.g market) at the top. The front view of an oppidum. The Murus Gallicus wall is easily visible along with longhouse with wooden roofs. An individual Gaulish city longhouse. A farm with some houses. For the German speaking http://www.geo.de/GEO/info/newsletter/abo/die-kelten-auf-den-spuren-eines-raetselhaften-volkes-67307.html It also has some images of their buildings.

I know this topic is old and I am unaware of any updates to it. However, I would just like to make a contribution by giving a link to an image of a Gallic longhouse. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/15/58/ad/1558ad2004fb9139bf10378b44da66d4.jpg

I'm not sure if this has been suggested but can you add the Murus Gallicus style wall for the Gauls? It should be cheaper in stone and cost some wood. Also, it should have functioning turrets, as it often would have.
