Leak on Official Civ Japanese webpage details on Gauls

[Zaarin]

But Barbarians can only add both DEX and CON to their AC if they’re unarmored, so wearing chainmail wouldn’t work. And they’d get Disadvantages on Stealth rolls, so that’s a problem too.

It's all Greek to me. I roleplay, but not DnD.

.......giggety?

I meant I play narrative-focused RPGs with lighter rules as opposed to the rules-choked mainstream stuff like DnD...

 

[Guynemer]

I figured as much, but if you think I'm one to leave an easy setup like that go by without taking a swing, you're sadly mistaken.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the First Look soon, I think Gaul looks interesting to play based on the leaked info.

Plaid is a reference to Plaid Speed from the movie Spaceballs.

How did this become canon? (Honest question; I'm interested)

What do you mean by canon? How we came to this conclusion?

At first, it wasn't obvious, but as the codenames accumulated, we detected a pattern that they all referenced speed or temporal proximity. So the only connection between plaid and speed is Spaceballs. And in retrospect it seems to hold up. Plaid became the Ethiopia DLC. I don't think it's content-connected, unless Ethiopia has a stripey textile pattern I've never heard of.

Aww man, I was hoping for another female leader

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Aww man, I was hoping for another female leader

I don't know if there is a possible female leader for Gaul anyway.

 

[Kupe Navigator]

Aww man, I was hoping for another female leader

like who? that would be like hoping for a female Cree leader. There just isn't one. ( unless you want to count mythical goddess which we all don't want to see)

I'm sure more will appear in the proceeding DLCs.

 

[Republic of San Montuoso]

I don't know if there is a possible female leader for Gaul anyway.

Does anybody with more knowledge than me on Celts could entertain us with the status of women in ancient Gaul? If I'm not mistaking, all liturgical and political powers were held by men, but was it as patriarchal and machist as Victorian England?

Boadicea, of Britonni Celts is the more famous, I guess

 

[The Sentinel]

while the gauls are celts not all celtic people are gauls, the gauls are from modern day france, as such she would not fit here.
