I've tried that twice, but it's very difficult economically since you can't build lvl2 mines. In the first attempt I didn't want to expand beyond Ankyra and Tylis, but couldn't afford enough troops to defend myself. In the second attempt I took Ankyra, Tylis, Nikaia and Byzantion, but I gave up after the AS, Pontos, Epeiros and the Makedonians all attacked me at once...

You would either have to use add_money or expand a lot to have a succesfull galatian campaign, but I didn't want to cheat too much or occupy too many "civilised" regions. My original idea was to just stick with Ankyra and only raid other regions, but that doesn't work at all cause you can't afford any significant troops with that.
