Okay, I know for the too smalls details. For the types of warriors, I can say that the Gallic used at least three types of javelins. A short javelin with a great blade, used by the heavy infantry to pierce the shields. A middle javelin, which can be used as spear, used by the light infantry. And a light javelin thrown by a thin strap of leather, used by the skirmisher and which can reach 80 meters. The elite warrior used a large shield, a spear and a sword. He carried a helmet and either a leather armor or a chain mail. He is generally in first line and he is followed by warriors less equipped (no armor and no helmet) but with a longer lance. The stripped/naked troops are generally troops of fast attacks, they use javelins and spear (and sometimes sword). Their shields are lighter. For the cavalry, in Gaul, they have no round shield. The cavalry of the Gallic War was entirely made of aristocrats.

Hello, Thanks guys To feneur, I posted the pictures of the salt mine and others production centers to give an example of the means which the Celts used to work. And if the Celtic walls are rights, the Gallic houses are wrongs. In Gaul the houses are not "round". I know, in Britannia many houses were rounds but the Gaul is really different. You can see those pictures: http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/7138/qu...sanaldebibr.jpg http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1791/ferm...ifiedepaule.jpg And for the armament, in French we have a specialist (André Rapin) and he made a great job on the Celtic continental weapons but to the Britannic Celts, I don't know any specialist. Barry Cunliff has made a poor work on the weapons. You can read the first link of my previous post, it's a summary of a work of André Rapin. Just a question, your Celts are of which period? The Gallic Wars? The pictures of the French comic book show a battle between Senones and Bellovaci in 230BC. And now, I make a word of thanks to all those people who work on this game. You make a GREAT job, good luck guys!

Do you like my post? I want just help.

Hello, I posted several month ago. I speak French and I'm member of the francophone community of Total War. www.universtotalwar.fr Sorry for my bad english. I'm passionate by the history and in particular the Gallic civilization. I noticed many faults mainly on the equipment, and and I will offer a series of documents and of images to you.. The PDF-Documents are in French, I hope that one of you is French-speaking because they are of excellent qualities. Sorry for the too many pictures, there aren't "spoiler" ? An excellent English link on the armament: http://www.gallicobelgae.org/la_tene_chronology.htm The habitat at the time of LaTène: The artisanal district of Bibracte The fortified farm of Paule: The tools: Activities of the Celtic society: Metallurgy and art: The warriors and the war: http://www.lecasquedagris.com/ http://mambba.blogspot.com/2008/08/le-casq...-des-snons.html For the French-speaking: The Celtic Armament by André Rapin The war and the weapons of the first century BC A specialist of the re-enactment A group of Re-enactment of the third century BC: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/leuki/asso.html http://pagesperso-orange.fr/leuki/panoplie.html# A group of Re-enactment of the first century BC: http://www.les-ambiani.com

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppidum_of_Manching I think it's good pictures of a oppidum. I hope that all picture will be useful. PS: the Brittons used cuirasses of leather and woad for bodypainting (several blue only) but they used less chain mail than Gallic warriors. However they used chariots and bodypainting unlike Gallic warriors.

Hello, i'm French and I wanted to give you three pictures: This comic was created by several historians. I hope this will be useful because in 0AD Celts are stereotyped. Celts used cuirasses of hardened leather and spear along three meters.
