Celtic Hordes


 * [[File:Banner.png]]

This is a small mod for Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion. It allows the Celts to form a horde in the campaign.

Introduction
Celtic Hordes is a mod for Barbarian Invasion which allows the Celts to form a horde. The idea came from a post on TWH, where someone said that the Celts should be able to form a horde. From there on, the mod quickly took shape, and was released soon after. I mainly did it to take a quick break from Britannia BC, which I then ended up doing hardly any work on for ages. In the future, I intend to add more units to the Celts, both horde and non-horde. For example currently I have added Ireland as an AoR, to try making one before I need to make them in Britannia BC. Basically, this mod is what I will use to try things out that I may end up including in Britannia BC, to make sure that I can get them to work, and to learn how to do certain things, like make the damned campaign map work.

Current Version: 1.0.1

Features

 * New region, Wales, and settlement, Deva (now Chester).
 * New region, Northern Ireland, and settlement, Cruacou.
 * Celts have the ability to form a horde when reduced to one settlement.
 * Horde Transport Ships so that the Celtic Horde has a means of getting off the British Isles. However, these ships are very weak in battle and will need an escort if travelling through dangerous or hostile waters.
 * New UI cards for Celtic horde units.
 * Provincial Campaign allowing Celts to horde from the outset of the game, by giving them only one starting settlement.

Current Celtic horde units:

 * Horde Gallowglasses
 * Celtic Horde Spearmen
 * Horde Chariots
 * Horde Kerns
 * Horde Crossbowmen

Future Plans
In the next release, some settlements will be renamed, and there will be special units that are horde only for the celts, and do not have a duplicate already recruitable in-game.
