Jaguars were an elite military order in Aztec society. The life of Aztec warriors was one of constant battle, as the primary purpose of this continual warfare was to take prisoners to be sacrificed to the gods.

At age 17, young Aztec men became warriors and entered formal military training. To achieve adult status, a boy had to capture his first prisoner. After capturing four enemies, he was eligible to become a Jaguar. The Jaguars, along with the similar Eagle warriors, were the only elite military unit that did not restrict membership to solely the nobility, as commoners who had proven themselves in battle were also permitted.

CELT WARRIOR: WEIGHT-180 LBS  HEIGHT-6'0"   YEAR-400 BC   WEAPONS: SHORT RANGE-LONGSWORD   MED RANGE-LANCEA   LONG RANGE-SLING   SPECIAL-BURDA CLUB Tribal warfare was a regular feature of Celtic societies, with tribes using warfare as a means of exerting political control and harrassing rivals, for economic advantage, and, in some instances, to conquer territory. The majority of Celtic soldiers were usually levies, though Celtic levies often proved to be worthy adversaries despite their lack of training or discipline. Aside from fairly common tribal warfare, the Celts were actually a quite civilized people, they are often credited with the invention of soap. Celt's were some of the ancient world's most talented metal workers and were quite famous for their fine swords and chainmail as well as many intricate works of art. During the La Tene era (~450 BCE-100 BCE), Celtic culture was geographically the most widespread in Europe and certainly one of the more advanced.
