Arverni are better because their king's a "god". heh heh... It's always fun playing God in a game.
"Do a backflip!" :whip:
"Why...?" :inquisitive:
"Bacause I'm a god! Never question my orders!" :furious3:
"Uh... Ok..." :dizzy2:

The Casse method of dealing with Aedui.
Averni...
YOUR NEXT
:laugh4:
i like the way belgae milnaht look but (as arverni) i cant justify training any when i can train botaroas right next door, which have 25% more men per unit and cost 350 upkeep vs 500 when they have really similar stats (the additional armor of the botaroas makes up for the increased hardiness of the milnaht imo). mind you if i was casse i would train them since they cant get botaroas.
yeah, they are my main force, I could show you a diagram of my casse battle setup.... =D
https://i167.photobucket.com/albums/...37-05-21-1.jpg
black/maroon circled units are Botroas or southern gallic swordsmen, they form the first line, and they take the initial charge and javalins
red circled units are the fierce men from Belgae, the Milnaht, they form my second infantry line and are the main heavy infantry force.
the green circled units are Laecha or, Goidilic Light Infantry, they make up my flanking force. (i sometimes have a group of shock infantry like the Ordmhornaghta hammer time guys :laugh4: but its hard to keep them at full strength)
I switch the laecha out with midland british hero's or Casse noble's or even Goidilic nobles, they basically just go around the flanks after the enemy is engaged with my line and flank.
next the yellow line are two units of archer's for anti-slinger support/fire attack support.
next the really light blueish purpleish color, my general's chariots
the pinkish lines to the left and right are mercenary Leuce Epos, actually now I can train them in one of my gaullic provinces so they are just regular Leuce Epos , they are my anti-cavalry/skirmisher force, and they also flank but their main priority is taking out enemy cavalry/slingers before they can do too much damage.
and finally the blue circled units are two units of Gaelaiche, for countering enemy flanking maneuvers or reserve units, whichever the situation calls for.
anyway, today i played a casse campaign for 9 hours, and I have to say, its been extremely fun even though I'm more of a Makedonian guy, and i played an Audui campaign and didnt find it as thrilling as the Casse campaign, i just wish they had some decent medium infantry, inbetween the Botroas and Milnaht, because they are sort of expensive
P.S. the enemy force, aka that huge mob of prly 4k soldiers or so, is infact the Aedui, so ha to all your Audui fans, I demolished another one of your armies.
Who are the Audui?
whoops.Quote:

Even though I love the Diadochi, if someone pointed a gun to my head and told me to spell Arche Seleukeia without copy/pasting it from the EB faction description page then I would prly be dead :laugh4:
In short they give a morale penalty to the enemy, so they are basically Gaesatae with out the drugs, and with pants.Quote:

Whether it's worth paying the extra money for the more skilled but less numerous Milnaht is up to everyone to judge for themselves. Me, I would not make up armies consisting of them completely, but I do use them whenever I can in a supporting role for the dominant gaeroas/gailache and bataroas/botroas in my infantry lines.
Blah, may this be the last time I spread false rumours. To my defence I was under the influence of an Asterix story. The Milnaht formed the elite of my army in the Belgae-Germania front in my Aedui campaign, and they performed so well I always thought they had some special powers, but it's just the high morale.Quote:

Out of all the Celtic factions the Casse are my favourite. Who can resist powerful warriors that paint themselves blue plus the added fact that they are isolated on that island which means there aren't as many foreign influences. The Aedui come second (even though I've never played a campaign up to the Reforms Carnutes Still rock!!!:2thumbsup:) and Arverni third.
Casse remind me of "the Blue Man Group" in Arrested Development, so that kind of tones down the "cool factor" for me.
