Well this is my Aedui campaign on VH/M ... It's preety interesting... The Arverni don't dare to attack me because they would face war with Lusotana, who is my ally and the arverni are under their protectorate... I had a long war with them, but i never tried to exterminate them... On the West the Germano-Roman alliance keeps giving me headaches, but i'm managing to stop them with no problem, and now the time of soldiers has come, to help me. I tried to play as historicaly as possible, not conquering any settlements unless i really needed them for money. I conquered the belgae and helvetti cities only fot them to be buffer states. I also conquered lemonum a few years ago, becouse of the chariots, but it seems i will not be able to use them now since the reforms have come.

Seleucia was destroyed a year ago, while the romans seem to be in trouble with carthage slowly making stronghold in south italy.

It's really a very interesting campaign... I struggled for money till few years ago, when i decided i had to conquer a few more provinces in order to stop the arverno-romano-germanic attacks. Thankfully my long term allies of Lusotanna are helping me now.

The most interesting part was a Koinon Hellenon kingdom in southern gaul. Since massalia rebelled to them, they've managed to conquer Tolosa and Emporion as well and they had become a powerfull regional power. Unfortunatly they were destroyed by rebelions ( tolosa rebelled to me) and lusottana.

It was fun fighting hoplites though
