I assume you used Print Screen to take screenshots in-game, yes? If so, you can find those pictures in the tgas folder in the same location as your EB folder. Use another program, such as IrfanView, to convert the .tgas into some more useful format, like .jpeg. Then use a hosting site, like PhotoBucket, to upload your pictures. You will get an image code once you upload your pictures that you can paste here with the Insert Image button.

If you think that you have over extended yourself then tear down all the buildings in the town, raise taxes to max and then withdraw all your forces to a point that you can hold.

Another option is gifting it to an ally, except it doesnt sount like you have any.

Im playing audei and having the same issues against Rome. Countless stacks often greater than the number they should/could ever recruit from the number of towns available and the cost???????? well I managed nowhere near it. Must be cash extras etc the Ai gets.

Tactics. Use the superior forrest skills of the babs and try to leave your troops hidden. Your general cannot hide but if you double up then the junior genereal does. Your main general sits in the open and then if you can go for a walk preferably uphill etc to exaust the opposition. Lure them back the trees and engage. You pick up good ambusher stars and increase your morale etc. Are you aware some temples on recruitment gives increase exp and morale markers. Use them at at the main recruitment centres, though I do not know how the unit morale is effected and by how much when teamed up with a gen.

Once routed you must continue and wipe out the stack , otherwise it is regrouped reloaded to a full stack and chances are its picked up some exp which gives them another advantage when it returns.

Try and take the mining town which sit to the right of Massilia in the alps. It will give you phalanx troops - Alpine phx and mons something. Govt 4 with a mic 2 for the former then replace with gov 2 to get the latter. Both excellant against anything especially cav which the romans use in abundance.

Good luck.

You are likely to get a roman diplomat turn up at a target town. Put a gen with some loyalty. Whilst turning the bribes down he will get honest trusty devoted traits etc which increases inf and law etc which is useful. Once done swap and replace.

If you own the North of the Alps then make use of locals. Celtic Axemen and Rhaetic Axemen are the perfect units for fighting the Romans. Also the Alpine phalanx use spears and Axes so they are great for holding the line. You can also grab some Helvetii phalanx troops. You need to use these guys since your native units recruitment will soon be too far away and it'll be a while before you get the reforms to make your own heavies.

If you're the celts, loads of mountain forts + 1 levy spearmen can delay the romans fairly well so you can masse units to hold at the bridges.

I trained some naked fanatics from conquered celtic cities... But don't use them extensively as they die like flies...

Hah... Gaesatae die like flies????? They have a 2 Hp???

Oh... You must mean Urodusios..............

hey, celts have one of the best Assault units in the game, do not say it is hard to defeat romans with celts. But sweboz has no variety of troops. So if you play with sweboz you have to take care of QUANTITY NOT QUALITY.
