You should be able to steamroll thru Gaul VERY quickly using this combo. I also used a unit of war hounds with my main army just for the terror attribute. I found this mass of horses to be powerful enough to take on just about any enemy unit. I used about 4-6 units of cav (barbarian cav is CHEAP) per army & stacked them all on top of eachother (including your general/s). The gauls are easy to beat - your spear warbands trump theirs & human cav tactics should always beat any AI cav. I made an alliance with Dacia early on, & they declared war on scythia/thracia anyway, so that pretty much secured my eastern flank. I found it better to take the town, and use a holding garrison to defend it against british counter attacks - the stupid AI will neglect ALL your other towns in its attempt to reclaim that starting town.Īlso, this town is between your main cities & the richer Galic cities, so you will be moving forces thru/past it the whole time anyway - these can be called on to reinforce the garrison there when the brits come back. If you don't take their continental town, they will use that as a base & attack your cities.
In my H/H German campaign, I found the British to be slightly annoying, but certainly not dangerous. They can't do anything, assuming you keep your phalanx in the right spot and they don't all get killed by ranged things. The only way for the enemy to storm your cities is to bash holes in the walls, and you'll just have your phalanx there, waiting for them to run into it. Also, since you're in the German campaign, you'll just produce people that are so devilishly handsome like me.īut know this: when fighting other barbarians, the spear warband is the key to holding cities.
Not only does this help your basic $$, but increases your population.

Also, upgrade farming as much as possible. (meaning either trade or make war) That must be the key to your economy. If someone breaths, you either want to trade with them or stop their breathing. I cannot overstress the importance of trade. The Romans or Macadonians or Thracians are usefull against the Dacians. I imagine it has been a common tactic throughout history. Also the French support of the Americans in the American Revolution(though that was a bit more direct). I did this by sending an army by sea to capture the Northeastern corner of Iberia (since it was Gallic) and then supporting the Spainish in their war against Gaul.Īlways remember: why spill your blood in fighting your enemy when others are willing to do so? I believe the cold war had a lot of that kind of stuff where one superpower sould support some minor group who had a bone to pick with the other superpower. You may want to open an additional front. Fortify your defence against them on that front, perhaps with occasional brief campaigns into Gallic territory without actually taking territory. In my german campaign, I've taken all of the Gallic territory (fifty years ago) and still haven't taken Alesia.
