This is my first time playing Imperator since legions were introduced, and I just unlocked them, so I had some questions about legion composition. Most of what I can find are people suggesting builds for the Mediterranean/Persian cultures, but what would be a decent build for Brittanic legions? I know I'll want some engineers and supply trains, but beyond that I'm not sure? I know I get a boatload of bonuses to chariots but from what I can tell they may not do me much good when I start coming to blows with the Romans down the line. I do have access to elephants from Carthage so I'm enjoying the idea of Icenian mahouts trampling Roman legions in Gaul.
All the Panic... The shaking as it hit the Sea Mine... Oh my.
I just played the Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean and in the sinking simulation the 2 forward funnels did not come off. The youtube sinking simulations state that all funnels fell during the sinking. So i am confused.
Titanic and Brittanic never sink and serve in WW1. They continue voyages across the world alongside Olympic into the mid to late 30s. How does this affect the White Star Line and the world?
I was playing as the Julli and was literally close to destroying the gauls when they declared war and it turned out that they had a massive empire. Basically, their entire involvement in the Gallic war resulted in House of Julli withdrawing from gaul and ending up losing every settlement due to the sheer amount of numbers. They threw huge armies at me and bogged me down whilst recruitingg like made.
I've never seen Brittanic expand that fast or be that wide. Northern Europe was ruled by them and they wiped out Germanica. I basically got my arse kicked by the new Britiannic empire. It cost me the campaign because i ended up fighting a defensive war and it came at a time where the reforms were triggered by one of the other houses. Meaning, i have to overhaul all my legions and ended up giving up because it would have been tedious to fight battle after battle after battle repeatly per turn.
I was told somewhere that there was a photograph of the Brittanic sinking. Not a illustration, painting, or etc. A actual photograph of the sinking, but they did say it hung in a house and that house was bombed in the Blitz in WW2, therefore, the photograph was obliterated.
Any awnsers on if this was true?
How do the different DNA companies define Irish and British DNA?
- FTDNA says 95% British Isles
- MyHeritage says 40% Welsh, Irish and Scottish DNA (seems to conflate Celtic aka Britannic and Gaelic DNA as one)
- My Heritage says 7% English (unclear what English means, is this Anglo-Saxon or Britannic. Approx half of my ancestry is tied to England)
- GEDmatch suggests heavy Irish (I know my ancestors largely lived in Southwestern Scotland and what is now the Central Belt...but could some of this come from the Scoti tribe who came to Scotland from Ireland)
- MyHeritage also suggests 13% Iberian (Iberian could be 'Celtic' as well). No ancestors in the historic record from Spain or France dating back as far as I can get it 1300-late 1600s)
I also know that Y-DNA is different fro autosomal but looked at the varied Y DNA projects for hints. Most people are R-M269 with some R-L21 (if I can triangulate a distant ancestor with the reporting on the Y-DNA project results pages).
I've been reading about the controversial and widely-refuted theories of Ulster unionist Ian Adamson about how an original "pre-Gaelic" people known as the Cruthin (the term comes from "Qretani", which was the Q-Celtic and Goidelic rendering of the name of the P-Celtic and Brittonic "Pretani", who came to be referred to as the Britons) once inhabited Iron-Age Ireland before being driven out in around the 7th or 8th century to Scotland after centuries of conflict with the supposedly later-invading Gaels.
Adamson's writings appear to be based around T.F. O'Rahilly's suspect historical model and seemingly serve to act as foundation for a sort of Ulster Protestant "Zionism"; the idea being that during the 17th century Plantation of Ulster, the Cruthin (portrayed as Picts, so as to ethno-culturally link them to Scotland, and latterly transformed into Ulster-Scots Protestants by sleight of rhetoric) returned to take their rightful place in "anciently British" Ireland, their purported homeland. Indeed, Adamson's theories fed the "Ulster independence" ideology of the UDA and inspired oddities like the well-known loyalist mural in east Belfast depicting Cú Chulainn (who Adamson claims was a Cruthin) as an "ancient defender of Ulster from Irish attacks over 2,000 years ago": https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/135/326403949_541c3d51b3_z.jpg
Adamson's theories are viewed by serious and credible historians/archaeologists as fictional pseudo-history or folk mythology. Indeed, it is generally-accepted that the Cruthin in Ireland were, in reality, Gaelic-speaking and that they are archaeologically-indistinguishable from the broader Gaelic culture of the day. Presumably the group in Ireland who were given the label were so named on account of a more "recent" link they had to Britain. As far as I'm aware, most experts are of the opinion that the Brittonic branch of the Celtic language had little to no influence in Ireland. Ireland's predominant lingua-cultural history is, of course, Goidelic, or Gaelic. As I also understand, the Goidelic and Brittonic branches of Insular Celtic are thought to have evolved simultaneously but on either side of the Irish Sea, in Ireland and Britain respectively, with the Goidelic branch being the more archaic of the two.
If this is indeed so, why did early geographers such as Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy refer to Ireland as if it were Brittonic in the first and second centuries? This historical habit is summarised on Wikipedia here: https://en.w
