Does any one starve the enemy???

[geala]

I just started a Casse campaign a few days ago and am a bit wondering why I haven't had so much problems (on vh/m).

I always starve cities until the very end, when they attack me. During the waiting time I can beat the release armies (I like it to be the defender in battles). I did so with my Epirotes, Macedonians, Ptolemaioi, Bactrians, KH and Lusotannans and I do it with the Casse. I just recruited four cheap units (one slinger) from the starting treasure and sieged the town north of the starting city (it's a shame that I don't have the names ready). You go in depths but with the second town you make enough money. The only problem was that I was attacked by two release armies in the first and second turn; never had this before with Eleutheroi except at Numantia. I lifted the sieges shortly, so I could fight against the field army alone.

Casse are nice to play and nice to look at (but I changed some units appearance), different from what I had by now in EB, and I like especially the Goidelic units, but the poor boys get their bellies ripped open so easily . I'm now fighting against Carthage in Spain and I get a headache when I think of my heavily armoured enemies.
