I don't think I'm being unreasonable here. This thread is for recruit / spell suggestions for a mod I'm making.

And how do you name the situation when you doesn't allow arguments in support of an opposite point of view? Or do you prefer just trading points of view without any logical arguments? I understand that you are going to make most work at the end, but using this as end-all-be-all argument is precisely the tendency I said about earlier.

I guess all chariots should be tramplers, though clearly some will suck at it due to low prot/hp.

Yes, certainly.

Why does Eriu need a chariot more than Tirnanog?

They have not so good infantry as Tirnanog & have stronger opponents due to better armor & appearance of heavy cavalry, of course!

but I'm not really sold that they belong in MA.

And why not? As I've said, Irish armies were somewhat archaic all the time. And Arcoscephale, for example, has no cavalry until LA, which is also adjudicated as their military being somewhat archaic. Also, Eriu's difficult history together with isolation would be quite able to conservate similar archaism (just like in real history! ).

While general resistance to elements isn't really that good fit, Earth spell to counter lightning would be nice

Fine. I'm not that good in balancing possibly, but I can see that armor-negating lightning could be the main problem for heavy Ulmits.

Here is a great article concerning chariot warfare written by one of our historians at WFGs:

Chariots in Warfare and Entertainment

Thanks a lot, Foodstamp. I have some sources as well, but they are in Russian for the most part..
Unfortunately, the article enforces a mistaken impression about "most other chariot users" using chariots as "charging weapon" - but is quite correct about the source of Caesar's description.. If you want, I can compile/translate something for your site.
