General Information[]
Pictland, at its start, is a Druidist Pictish barbarian tribe located in the Highlands, Lowlands and The Isles areas, Britain region of the Western Europe subcontinent. The tribe is formed in the lands of Druidist Caledonia, Taexalia and Lugia in the year 250, with cores, bordering fellow Druidist Novant and Votadinia south and the waters of North Atlantic surrounding the lands of the tribe in every other direction.
Pictland will become Chalcedonian Scotland in 843, losing cores and never appearing on-map again.

Strategy[]
War with the Brigantes[]
First of all ally with Silures and start fabricating a claim on the Brigantes, and make sure you get some Germanic allies like Saxony or Francia. When the claim has fabricated, fabricate another one, then declare war on the Brigantes; Silures should join the war. Try take as much land as possible, and don't give Silures any land.
Unifying Great Britain[]
Fabricate some claims on the Romans as they tend to break down and release a nation or two. Don't leave the released countries much time to build up troops, strike them quickly. If Rome doesn't release any nations then try to beat the Romans with your mainland European allies as they should join. After this you should be able to conquer all of Britain Once you have conquered all of Britain; you should reform your technology. At this point you should be able to conquer some of Scandinavia due to the barbarians spawning in the region. Eventually, you will be able to form Great Britain at Admin Tech lvl. 55.
