Caesar in Gaul DLC

Circled back to play this one again this week. Had a really good time, in fact the previous two times I played it and lost I had a really good time. Being overwhelmed by barbarians playing as Rome and getting w/in 2 provinces of the victory condition but not able to do anything more than hold my own counterattacking was great fun.

But of course I had eventually to return and secure the victory, and this time I developed the base group of provinces for Rome more securely, expanded more slowly, recruited more armies to handle holding back the counterattacks and rebellions and carried the day this time.

Loved the turn count in this one, it allows the seasons to really play a part in the campaign. As I've said before, all the DLCs in my book for Rome 2 are really quite good, and far better than the GC in my book.

So, not sure which of the DLC I'll turn to next, probably return next to Atilla, got a campaign as the brits in that one, or what will eventually become the brits, so far have just secured the island and established a beach head, damn hordes are already marauding all over the continent so I'm sure they'll be trouble.

But since I had so much fun with CIG as Rome, I no doubt will fire it up again in the near future to play as the barbarians handing Caesar his head, I doubt though it will be as entertaining because it will likely be possible to recruit allies on that side, whereas playing Rome it was pretty much you against everyone on the map, a bit like realm divide from Shogun 2 only from the first turn to the bitter end.
