===Units===

*[[Wolfhounds]]
*[[Scotti Chariots]]
*[[Noble Clansmen]]
*[[Warlord]]

====Unique Units====
[[Hounds of Cullann]]: These fearsome warriors tower above the average soldier, with a skin hue of deep purple and carry a menacing sword. Once they use the 'Warcry' ability or enter combat they go into Berserker mode which makes you lose control of them (like in a rout) while they run around the battlefield slaughtering any enemies which fall into view. 

[[Kerns]] - Javelin men.

[[Slingers]]: Just like in the original R:TW slingers are a missile unit. However they have a very short firing range and because they fire directly instead of upwards they must be placed at the front of your army or else they will fire at your own troops.

[[Druids]]: Again, like in the original R:TW Druids are infantry units, however weak they may be. Their strength however, comes in their 'Chant' ability which raises the morale of nearby allies while lowering it for enemies. Quite similar to the Catholic Priest.

[[Gallowglasses]]: A soldier with a large two-handed sword. Very powerful infantry unit.

[[Scotti Chariots]]: Chariots are quite weak in a 'head-on' charge, or even against a battle against a unit of infantry due to their low defence. Their strength however comes in charging into the rear of enemy units. Their other advantage is in the fact that they demolish enemy morale, even by just being near enemy troops. A charge into an enemy's rear or flanks usually causes an insta-rout!
