Is there a forum for historical errors of the game;
Can't seem to find it so i'll post here.

At 281 BC there was a great Gallic invasion of Macedonia and Illyria. The Macedonian king Ptolemy Keraunos(starting monarch in EU:R) met his death in battle(280-279BC) against Bolgios(the gallic chieftain) who was in turn defeated by Sosthenes, a macedonian nobleman, to be in his turn routed by a second gallic contigent led by Brennus. The Celts after bypassing(as usual) the Greek allies at Thermopylae attacked Delphi where they were destroyed.
Now amidst this chaotic situation some Celts settled temporarily in Thrace(the Celts of Tylis 278BC-212BC) and some crossed over to Asia minor where they settled, thus naming the region Galatia.

Now the game kicks off at 280BC. At that date Keravnos is already dead(or about to die) campaigning against the marauding Gauls, whose mass raid is reaching Greece, and Tylis has not yet been founded.

Meanwhile Antigonos should also be ready to reclaim the Macedonian throne, IIRC. You might want to check out Epigoni Mod, Hardradi has put in a good effort to make this situation as historically-accurate as possible within the confines of the game engine.
