I will do a change on capes right now, (tomorrow if can't fix all the capes) i achieved the generalization of them following horse blankets actor naming.

Name will now be: cape_"size or mesh*_faction.

Okay, I will hold the commit until tomorrow to avoid overlapping, you could remove the scabbards on the part of your commit tomorrow, thanks.

Don't worry, commit it today i want to see them ingame . im just starting right now so nothing to worry about, i would only need to add the cape prop change on the gauls actors to keep in sync.

I was also wondering why hexagonal shield are still a part of the shield distribution for the Gauls? Tagging @Genava55 on this thread.

IIRC on his design doc of shields distribution, Hexagonal plain are for Gauls while Hexagonal with a Moon Shape top and bottom borders are for britons only.

Hexagonal shields are attested in the late Gallic cultures (after 150 BC). Hex shields can be used to specifically distinguish units, it will depend on how the roster will be done.

The Celtic warrior used both in the battle. A spear/javelin combined with a sword. There are some burials found with only swords and thousands of swords have been found, so I suggested a Gallic swordsman originally but yet the roster is not validated.

However, poorer warriors probably used only javelins and spears. Again it will depend on the future roster.

I suggest either:

- To remove the scabbard for the spearman.

- To give the scabbard only to higher rank spearman (advanced or elite).

Btw, the iron scabbard should be on the right side.

Sleeveless tunic are attested. For a couple pictures useful in general for textures:

In one of your references the chieftain wears the hat we assigned to the healers. Is that ok ?

For me it is ok. We have multiple evidence in celtic art for human figures with this kind of hat but only one archeological evidence for a chieftain. We do not know if it was exclusive for non-religious member. We do not know if the chieftain was also a religious figure, and we do not know how far the druid could be an authority in the society. In some case, a Druid could act as a political leader as well.
