Any trigger activating Aedui and Averni?

[Maximus Aurelius]

In my Romani campaign their territories didn't change until about 220 BC. And then out of nowhere the Aedui started conquering like crazy. They currently have all of modern day France, except for the southern coastal cities that I hold . And the Arverni have been pushed to the west and have a small part of the Alps.

It gets ridiculous when the AI continously tries to take a city....only to send the remaining troops from their defeat to besiege it again...

All while having 2 full stacks around the city doing ZILCH.

Me hates it.......puny romans do it too much.

[General Appo]

Yeah, in my Sweboz campaign they´ve got 3 full stacks around Patavium (not inside the city) doing nothing, while a small army keeps trying to take Segesta and always get´s beaten back. If those Roman armies attacked the city would fall in 2 turns, now they´ve wasted 20 years trying to take it.

Well it seems that I should have said nothing

First, I got attacked by a rebel army in Ebunorum.
Then, sweboz betrayed me, I kicked thier german asses, took one province then asked ceasefire to not obliterate them

Now Aedui sneak attacked me, they razed my puppet state in Massilia (but puppet king fought like a lion on the walls ... shame I had only poor levies butchered by fanatic naked men )

And while all of this is going on, my "allies" Getai suddenly began sending full stacks near my cities on the border, and even tried to assassinate my other puppet king in Ebunorum I will punish them and will fight on three fronts ... hope lusotans stay quiet for now

Anyway, with some house rules battles are really exciting. I'm playing with legions of 2 roarii, 2 hastati, 2 princeps, 1/2 triarii 1 equites + various auxilia/mercenaries I can get. It's not like the boring RTW vanilla battles where you simply flank and rear charge with cavalry and suddenly all enemies are butchered in a second!

However ... I shall not forgive Aedui for razing massilia when I was 1 turn left to build super-mega-amicorum-troops-barracks (--> birhentin and mercenary greek general). I will take the city back and hang those fanatics on the city walls with nails in thier penis
