jurgenjuggernaut Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 As well known in the british isles before the invasion of rome, Womens were same as men and were able to fight or have lands on their own. I suggest that british celt womans to have more cost but being able to fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki1950 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Lots of references for women warriors in Celtic cultures the tribal laws where quite equal in their dealing with gender including about 8 different marriage/partnership arrangements with means of handling the property of both members.Not many women actually trained exclusivity as warriors but is was always an option for any female.All this can be found in the Celtic sagas in their various translations.Enjoy the Choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why this wasn't used as a civ specific options. It used to be mythos to be asked for such questions now I don't know who is in charge for it.

Stan` Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 True I'll speak about it for 1000 AD. Did they use the same weapons as men ? I remember talking to a blacksmith showing me "women weapons" which basically were big clubs with thousands spikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurgenjuggernaut Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 "Girls as well as boys could be trained to fight with swords and other weapons. One of the most prominent training schools in Gaelic mythology was run by Scathach (pronounced “sca-hah” or “skya”), a woman warrior from what is now Scotland. She trained the greatest hero of Irish legend, Cúchulainn" "The practice of bearing arms was relatively common among women. Women were recorded as having taken part in the final battle against Caius Suetonius Paulinus when he advanced upon the druid stronghold on the island of Mona (now Anglesey) in present-day Wales. In this case, they seem to have made great use of psychological tactics such as screeching, dancing wildly, and pulling at their faces, frightening the Romans enough to hold them off for a time."

I suggest that british celt womans to have more cost but being able to fight I am late to this but I feel like if battle maidens would be more expensive for obvious reasons like adjusted armors. I feel like they need something more than being trained at a good strike, perhaps that but also making them faster units than a man (not faster than cavalry nor faster on cavalry obviously) a cav variant could be one mounted doing archery. make the naked fanatics both men and women, neither is more expensive than the other for the simple fact there is no armor. we should totally have this also for druids, women were allowed to be druids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
