I have twice took the city from them and gave it back to Arverni, the third time I have finally destroyed Lusotanna altogether. Generally, the more you allow AI to evolve itself, the more interesting battles you will fight and the more rewarding the game will become. Your blitzing is your greatest enemy!
QFT!

This is my main rule when I play EB, also when playing the Romani (look in the faction progress thread and you'll see that in 202 BC not one faction has been destroyed in my campaign - although the KH are down to their last settlement and I can't afford to help them.)
