Arthur: the subject of more legends than any individual throughout Western history.  Though often placed through story in the Middle Ages, Arthur was almost certainly a Celtic king living in the 5^th century.  Celts themselves were at the twilight of an astounding and near mythical two thousand year history during Arthur’s time and he remains the most intriguing of all Celts.  Credited with inventing the concept of chivalry that would dominate the philosophy of knighthood for centuries, he represented a prime virtue that brought light into the Dark Ages.

The Celts begin the campaign centered about what historically became their final stronghold on the continent – Armorica.   The successful player will reverse the course of history and place the Celts back into ascendancy, instead of allowing their continued diminution as a civilization.  The Celt player enjoys the advantages of the relative protection Armorica’s coastal location provides, as well as the speed advantage the light-armed  Celts enjoy over most rivals.  Another key advantage of Arthur and his Celts is his Rulership: it allows the Celt player two more commands per turn than most rivals.
