    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.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    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.

    Hey hey hey! That's true about quantity, but till the reform! you know, I underestiamted those jugontis xatiska (young clubmen) with 3 or fous chevron, two of them just EAT the pedites extraordinarii and spit the rest behind! so good for quantity, but I can assure that quality (and mostly experiance) make a real differance! and a couple of those apea gaedoto do miracle with their axe! hmmm, but still, must built a lvl 3 temple in each of my cities (gruesome amout of money there) But at the end, it pays off to train a unit with gold chevron at base!!! so circle of Deiwoz plus field game plus blacksmith (when i capture cities with it, otherwise, it's too expensive for my really crappy finances) = Nightmare of roman!!! I just captured rome by the way, and Roleplay-wise, should I destroy their marvel inside (that ubber temple of Jupiter that worth 20 000 mnai?

    You are barbarian! Of course you should!

    Never played a Sweboz campaign, but this thread is tempting me to start one... too bad I have 6 exams coming so it will have to wait
