People interessed by more historic units and factions ?

Hello there,
Big fan of pike&shoot, i'm happy to play fog2. But as always, i'm a little disappointed by the treatment of "barbarian" factions. So, i've made quickly my own unit and list for gallic factions (not graphic modding, i'm ineffective!).
I will not hide the heavy influence of europa barbarorum mod, but i also read scientific articles and books.
(For celts, i advise you to read André Rapin's articles, who is a specialist of celtic armament; but if there is only one book to read, it's "Le guerrier gaulois" of Frank Mathieu, mainly because it's well illustrated)
I'm not sure of the points values, but i thinks that the essential is good (+ i added some new units for hellenistic factions) :

Great idea, I like it.

In fact I think it should be something inherent in the core game. Maybe with an option to toggle between generic an specific names

Thanks for your file

It would be nice to do the same thing for the other barbarian nations

Ok, i've made a new germanic faction list.
As usual, I thank eb 2 for the names and inspiration, but i also read a few articles about germanic warfare, and some changes reflect it.
