By the way, I finished my Gallic campaign. It was horribly boring.

Right off the bat, I knew I had to secure my borders so I attacked the British settlement on the mainland, the Spanish settlement in the Pyrenees, and the rebels at Massillia. I shored up my defense in Mediolanium and Patavium in hopes that I could stall the Romans long enough to give myself a two or even one-front war.

It worked...TOO well.

Within the first 20 years, I had conquered the entire Iberian peninsula, all of Britannia, and had reduced the Germanic holdings to just two territories in the very east, near Scythia.

I had conquered 32 of the required 50 territories with spear warbands and javelin skirmishers. By the time I conquered the Julii and Rome, I only had 2 or 3 cities built up enough for level 2 troops and I didn't own a single city outside of Italy that could build level 3.

I beat the entire campaign without ever getting to use the Gallic uber-archers.
