Name: Gaul
From Game: Rome: Total War
Culture: Barbarian
Playable:


Gaul is one of the playable factions in Rome: Total War. It can be played after successfully completing a campaign as a Roman faction or by simple modifications to the game files (more information on which can be found here).

Gameplay

Gaul is a 'barbarian' civilization, and thus are unable to build stone walls and access many of the types of buildings and units that the Roman and Greek cultures are able to. However this does mean that they get their Elite troops much quicker than "civilised" factions.
