Thank you very much to Pol-cop. The text is too long, for this reason it is not present here

Painted Warrior, the UU:
This unit replaces Swordsman, it has 2 extra offensive points, 1 less defensive point, doesn' need iron to be done and cost 10 shields more.

You're getting much better at this!

You've done a really good job with this one . I really like the Ancient, Industrial and Modern ages, but I'm not 100% sure about the Medieval one.

Sorry but you are wrong about Craig Phradraig but there are alternate spellings which might have led to the confusion eg Craig Phadrig:

In the western outskirts of Inverness stands a massive hill crag - Craig Phadrig. The summit of this crag was once the site of a great hill-fort, a mighty bastion of the early Pictish kings. Craig Phadrig was a major Pictish stronghold in the north of Scotland from the fifth century onwards. Towards the end of the sixth century it was the fastness of one of the most powerful kings named in the Pictish king-lists - King Bridei mac Maelchu, often called by the anglicised name of 'Brude'.

BTW, Craig Phradraig isn't a historically-correct capital of any nation
If you're giving somebody credit for something, it's best make it like the last city name. Just like what Firaxis did with Scandinavia, last city = Thunderfall.

Is it wrong to use Tara as a pictish settlement? Didnt the picts migrate from ireland, or am I a bit mixed up?

Anyway, I've placed Craig Phadrig and Scone on the map, need a city to place in the western scotland coast, any ideas? Thanks

Wrong I would say. I think you must be confusing the Picts with the Dalriadans who migrated from Ireland ~400AD -they would merge (although absorb is more correct since the Picts lost their culture) with the Picts. As for Picts being in Ireland then that is a possibility. One theory suggests that the Picts were non-Celtic inhabitants of both Scotland and Ireland before the Celts arrived, i.e, they were the original native inhabitants. The Irish name for the Picts was ‘Cruithne’, thought to mean ‘Painted People’ and was a name also used by the Irish, to describe a group of aboriginal people in Ireland prior to the coming of the Celtic Gael. These people were at one time one of the most predominant tribe in the North of Ireland around Ulster. Munster, another part in Ireland was also predominately ‘Cruthne’ and is also the place to have similar inscription stones to that of the Pictish ‘Ogham’.

No Pictish place names have survived in the west of scotland, they were there of course as evidenced by their standing stones but the area was taken over by Gaels and Vikings. Typical Pictish names begin with 'Aber' or 'Pit' and are predominant in the north east of Scotland. Hope that helps

Thanks for your replies KingArthur! Well, my scenario starts in 1300bc and its not meant to be historical accurate since I do stuff like including the Romans it it
Anyway, I found this in http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/cairney/28.htm:

In any case, Gaelic penetration of Pictlãnd had begun in the pagan period. This early contact is reflected in Old Irish literature, which records a number of Pictish kings at Tara, the sacred pre—Celtic site of the Irish sacral High-Kingship

So I guess they did exist there a long time ago

Updates: the civ come with a civilopedia entry and with the unit done by Utahjazz7. Just download the first file and replace all the files Enjoy!

What a great leaderhead! I'm about to change half the leaderheads in my scenario since there seem to be some splendid new ones that fit it, but this might as well be custom made. Thank you.
