No Bloodlines and no complete upgrades from Blacksmith, that's why we usually don't see Celts or Byzantine going Palladins. Though not fully upgraded, they still make a difference. It seems more to be a cost-effective issue. But there are some ocasions I think that they're good, like raiding or to kill siege (mostly Scorpions and Siege Onager). If not for that, really a waste of resourcers as they'll lose vs Paladin from calvary civis and will suck vs Halberdiers. Unless you have excess of food and gold, I don't see any reason to Celts/Byzantine go Palladin.
Tell me, in what kind of situations would Celts or Byzantine produce Palladin?
