The Celts aren't as bad as I first thought they would be, although, I would rate them as probably the worst Civ in the game. Brennus gets a fairly good trait combination. Spiritual is useful if you change civics regularly whilst Organized can be useful in maintaining a stable economy.
On it's own, the UB can be quite good. If you have cities on hills, then getting Guerilla 1 promotion straight away can make for very powerful city defenders if you have barracks in the city. Where it goes wrong is the combination of the UU and UB. They both basically do the same with the Gallic Warrior getting the same promotion that the Dun gives to Archery units. It seems very uninspired, especially seeing as the intention of the Gallic Warrior is to attack, yet it gets given a defensive bonus. This definetley lets the Civ down.
DevilJin I agree with you about Arabia. They used to be my favourite Civ on the Vanilla version, know they are one of the worst. The UU, whilst useful due to being resourcless, is mediocre as there is little else it offers and the UB really doesn't offer that much extra. I find Priests probably the worst specialist, so being allowed two extra of these really doesn't appeal.
