Hi,
this is my newest unitmod.
After some research i recognized, that the tribes of the Caledones need to be more work out.
So i made this mod.
The Caledones:
Tacitus described the Caledones in his "Agricola" as redhaired and large-limbed.
They used sucessfully guerilla warfare against the Romans.
Cassius Dio reported, that the Caledones inflicted 50000 Roman casualties due to attrition and guerilla warfare during the campaign of Septimius Severus in 209 AD.
It seemed, that the Caledonians and Picts used more woman warriors than other celtic tribes.
(Source: Paul Wagner, Pictish Warriors AD 287 - 841, Page 63)
So i created caledonian units, which light armoured have guerilla deployment, and which more noble units have woman warriors.
Enjoy.

Screenshots were made, while using Armoured Horses Mod, CIU East, CIU West from Avetis, which included ACR - Alii Colores Romae from Demokritos. I recommend to use them for a better graphical experience.
The Stats are developed on Vanilla stats and should fit perfect to Vanilla.
This is a semihistorical, but historic plausible mod, based on Vanillastyle.
I tried to make it historical to my knowledge as possible.
You will have to use an All factions playable-Mod to use this units by yourself.
I would thank:
-CA for the vanilla game and the assembly kit
-Sebidee for his great modding tutorial
-BoyaWho? for some of his unit icons.
-Avetis for armour
-Dontfearme22, Arrowwolf and Greenyrepublic for helmets
-The_Germans_are_coming for armour, pelts and helmet textures.
