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.
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

- Do you want a subforum?
- Would it be possible for you to write a little piece for the website about this?
Great work.
-
Do you want a subforum?
Yes please :).
Would it be possible for you to write a little piece for the website about this?
I'll put something together. Do you want me to PM it to you?
-
Yea, PM be good.

I've done a bit more on this now, and will release an updated version later in the week. There is now a new unit, Gaelic Spearmen, which I added in as an excuse to make an AoR to check I could get them working properly...
-
Fixed OP and added sexy download button. Should probably make it green though... Might make a banner sometime too if I'm bored enough.
Edit: Decided I was bored enough and made a banner as well as greenifying the download button.
-
Added a poll, since I'm thinking of maybe expanding this/releasing what I have so far. Responses would be appreciated :) .
-
Of course you should continue with this. I was actually looking at it the other day thinking: he should continue with this. B)
Voted hell yes.
-
Right, I've decided. I'll be messing around with this adding stuff to get my head back into modding, then working on Britannia BC. However I won't be doing anything until Friday at the earliest since I have to get my computing project done by then, and I'm not exactly on schedule.
-
Computing is done at long last. Was up to 4 last night doing it :( . Tomorrow, I return to RTW modding after too long of an absence. Now where did my BI disc get to...
