This post covers the Celts, their units, mythology and gameplay mechanics.Ĭeltic history and religion is very long and wide, but admittedly a lot of what I would be drawing from would be Irish legends such as the Ulster cycle that were recorded well after Christianization (though this was also true of the Norse, and similarly they may be clues about pre-Christian beliefs), in large part because this stuff is well attested compared to other mythology associated with Celtic peoples. My first post detailing the basis ideas and civs is here, and my second one going into depth about my concept on an Aztec civilization is here.

"Celtica" was actually the name of a Roman province in the Gaul region of Western Europe.Hello all, this is the third post in my series on my ideas for new civilizations in a prospective Age of Mythology 2. Several times in history, Celtic tribes would form alliances against common enemies, such as to fight the Romans. Though a united Celtic empire has never existed, there is evidence of powerful chiefdoms who've subjugated large territories. The six current "living" languages are Welsh, Irish, Breton, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, and Manx (native speakers, greatest to least). Much of the Celtic language has become extinct after centuries of cultural assimilation by Roman and Germanic migrants. The Gaels would continue to survive as multiple small kingdoms into the Middle Ages. Though the Romans were unable to defeat the Gaellic tribes in modern-day Ireland, they were able to eventually conquer the Celts of mainland Europe. The Celtic inhabitants in modern-day France were known as the Gauls by the Romans. One group migrated as far as Asia Minor, a part of modern-day Turkey, where they became known as the Galatians. They settled in France, Northern Italy, Spain, the Balkans, Britain, and Ireland. In the first millenium BCE, the tribes began to migrate throughout the rest of Europe. The Celtic tribes were famously depicted in stories for their extravagant feasts and battles against the Romans.ĭuring the early Iron Age, the Celts resided in central Europe. The Celts were a group of tribal societies in Europe who shared a similar language root and culture. The noun Celt (or Kelt) comes from the Greek k έλτoι, keltoi ( the mighty, the great) when the people were first described by the Greek historian, Herodotus. The Celts were delayed and eventually released on March 26, 2012.
