	Civilization III Fanatics' Center: Civilizations: The Celts
		On the contrary, it in fact appears that the Celts maintained a rich culture that is survived by the modern Celtic and Gallic speakers of Ireland, Highland Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales and Brittany.
		These Gallic Swordsmen were wealthier than their peers, and could afford to equip themselves not only with their slashing and stabbing sword, but also with a helmet and shield.
		Similar to the Viking Berserker, Gallic Swordsman began their battles by viciously taunting their enemies, followed by a mad rush against enemy lines.

		By keeping your Gallic Swordsmen one square behind your spearmen you can insure that the MW will either be forced to attack your spearmen or wait until you are within striking distance of his cities.
		Thus it is of the utmost importance that your first Gallic Swordsman wave cripples or destroyers your opponent else you will be forced into a long war of attrition and you will incur significant opportunity costs, gaining much less territory and resources then you could have gained if you won quickly.
		This one also supports the concept of a 3.2.2 swordsman, but notice that this one is named a "Gallic Swordsman" whereas the screen shot Objectivist posted is labeled "Celtic Glory" -- Celtic Glory could very well be a "named unit" since it appears that it is an elite unit that has generated a leader.

		The central character, Cyrano, is a famous swordsman, and an aspiring poet-lover.
		Because of his grotesquely large nose "that marches on / before me by a quarter of an hour," he is convinced that he is too ugly to deserve his adored Roxane.
		Cyrano's gallantry was seen as the reincarnation of the true Gallic spirit and Rostand became a national hero.

		I seem to recall that Swordsman upgrade to Medieval Infantry.
		If you can build a swordsman (by tech level) and you are allowed to build a special swordsman, the basic unit is replaced by your unique unit (UU).
		That's why Swordsmen upgrade to Gallic Swordsmen (just a random choice, could have easily been legionaries as long as Firaxis included all the units) instead of to Medieval Infantry.

		Spartacus endeavored to make his way through the Apennines to the Alps and the Gallic country, but one of the consuls anticipated him and hindered his march while the other hung upon his rear.
		Then, before he approached Spartacus himself in battle, who was laying out a camp at the head of the Silarus River, he overcame the Gallic and German auxiliaries of Spartacus, of whom he killed thirty thousand men with their leaders.

		To illustrate: In one of the Indiana Jones movies, faced with a spectacular display of martial arts prowess on the part of a predatory swordsman, Harrison Ford pulls a pistol and shoots his superior opponent.
		Nuclear weapons are the equivalent of that leveling pistol in the face of unmatchable conventional military power.

		The Roman Legionary is a highly-skilled swordsman good in both offense and defense.
		Often originating in apparently benign orders (such as the Hospitallers, who, true to their name, ran hospitals all over Europe), crusaders were often motivated by ambition and the desire to rule their own kingdoms in the Near East.

		Political opposition, family quarrels, armed rebellions and corruption make this a highly contemporary scene, fuelled by the intrigue of the major characters, who are now developing as full adults.
		As he takes the legions north into mighty battles with the Gallic tribes, the imperious stand of Caesar and the leadership of his men, his new friendships with fellow leaders, and his overwhelming ambition begin to separate him from Brutus, the great swordsman and warrior.
		Although the Gallic conquests lead to Caesar's triumphal entry into Britain, the victories on the battlefield cause political rivalries at home, and ultimately the famous choice is presented to Caesar and Marcus Brutus.

		Over time, Lagardère must show his skill with a foil, since he's sworn to protect a young girl (Marie Gillain) from a gang of assassins in hot pursuit.

		Warband centre in long thin formation, Swordsman to either flank, back a rank or so and slighty under-lapping the warband (to bolster their line if they start to waver).
		When you come to look back at your skirmishers you will see that they lost barely any men ~10 -15 usually at worst (the swordsman always seem to take the bigest beating, but hey, they are hardcore imho so can take it), and they are ready to go bait the next unit of chariots ~:).

		Through puppets and surprising mechanics, vigorous physical performance, and the startling beauty of the play’s lyrical language, Court Theatre and Redmoon Theater tell the romantic, heartwarming and often funny story of the swordsman and poet, Cyrano de Bergerac.
		Co-directed by Court’s Artistic Director Charles Newell and Redmoon’s Artistic Director Jim Lasko, CYRANO retains the humor and the heart of Edmond Rostand’s theatrical masterpiece, while revealing the plot in an unconventional fashion.
		Lasko and Newell rejuvenate this classic love story by taking the audience on a passionate journey through Cyrano’s memories, complete with a dream-like ambiance, non-linear narrative, and gorgeous puppets that represent real-life defenses and characters.

		And the other change from PTW is that the cost of a Gallic Swordsman is dropped to 40 shields from 50.
		Policeman specialists are available at Nationalism, and reduce both shield waste and economic corruption by one unit (before multiplication from buildings.) Civil Engineer specialists are available at Replaceable Parts, and contribute two shields per turn when building an improvement (not a unit); these shields are not subject to either corruption or factory multiplication.
		Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game.

		Warrior Code and Ceremonial Burial and build Gallic Swordsman instead of Swordsmen.
		In the 1st century BC, Strabo wrote of the Celts: 'The whole race...is madly fond of war, high-spirited and quick to battle...and on whatever pretext you stir them up, you will have them ready to face danger, even if they have nothing on their side but their own strength and courage'.
		Despite the writings and other information that paints the Celts as uncultured savages, the relatively sophisticated weapons, pottery, jewelry, and other equipment found at burial sites serves to remind us that they were very far from being the savages they were once depicted as.

		These kind of choices are the meat of strategy games; take them away and chess turns into tick-tack-toe.

		Each Ancient Cavalry is a Gallic Swordsman with an additional hit point; since Gallics were appropriately priced at 50 shields (and are way too cheap at only 40 shields), we can figure that the ancient cavalry is worth about 50-60 shields.
