    Thats a pity. But it explains Arverni surname oi Lugous as their shrine of Lugous in the capital. If I'm not mistaken.

    Why not play one campign with Aedui and then one campign with Arverni?

    Arverni is much more challenging. And I like challenge.

    Of course the Arverni are the best! Aedui are weak half-roman inbreds, who can't stand an Arverni attack for one second. ARVERNI RULE

    Remember. It was the Arverni who fought Caesar, the Aedui were the ones who called him to help against the Helveti ;-) Weeeaaak.

    Just as the Averni had to call in the Suebi under Ariovistus when the Aedui were beating them up...


    The conclusion must be that Res Publica Romana and the Sweboz PWN!!!

    That's right, save the time one would spend debating and play two campaigns instead

    Aesthetically, I definitely prefer the Arverni. Gameplay wise, once again, prefer the Arverni because their start location can be a bit difficult (translates to fun.) The Arverni also seem to weigh more heavily on Alpine expansion, which is another reason I prefer them. And, Vercingetorix, need I say more? (pronounce it Ver-sing-jet-or-ix and I kill you)

    I would say the Averni, simply because their generals have impeccable taste in terms of their battle wardrobe. I mean, who can withstand anyone who wears a giant swan helmet and dons the imperial purple?

    On a perhaps related note, have been playing an Averni game, and on one turn my adviser popped up with a message from the Epirotes. They apparently wanted me to take a couple of Illyrian cities in exchange for vague promises of friendship, and I was suddenly allied to them when I accepted the offer by pressing on the advisers face. Is this some sorta timed mission or something? Might be another reason to go (or not go) Averni.

    I recall others mentioning the mission as wel, it is indeed a timed one.


    I would play Sweboz and destroy them both! Soft Gauls!!

    Aedui get the same proposition (or at least I did in my game).

    Wow, that's quite an impressive feat! I'm not that fond of rushing to be true.

    I like the Aedui because I really don't like the light green color of the Arverni. :(

    Nah, Arverni skins look better IMO, even despite their strategy map colour.

    Quite right. Wou-kin-get-oh-ricks is a bit closer to how its really pronounced in Gallic.

    I pronounce it pretty close to that (Waer-Kinj-uh-toe-ricks)

    The History Channel pissed me off (again) by pronouncing it slovenly as I had shown in my previous post.
