First of all, I restarted the campaign, I had really no hope. I started as you suggested, and I attacked the Aedui in the second turn (the movement restrictions didn't let me attack in the first one) with almost all I had.
With the main army I obliterated an Aedui army with a Heroic Victory, very near their capital (Gallic for Alesia maybe?), so I took it some turns after that.
There were some reinforcements who were suposed to meet the main army, but got attacked in the way, and I kept retiring until I got very near the second transalpine Aedui settlement. I obtained a Heroic Victory against an army of them once again (thanks to the Gallic Light Cavalry... I really like that guys, although as you say, are very expensive to mantain), and then I took that settlement.

BTW, I didn't assaulted the walls... I just let them come out for me... I usually do that... is that completely wrong? I know I lose a lot of time, but it assures me the victory.

I left the Cisalpine Aedui Settlement, so they're still alive, and I don't plan to attack them anytime soon. But even though they have just one settlement, they just don't want to become my protectorate , maybe I'll have to put an army outside their doors.

Now I have a doubt, about the Reforms of the Celts... is the Lv 4 Market the one that costs like 6000 mnai, or one even larger? And will the other Celtic factions help me with that? I mean, I know they build up their cities and everything, but I'm not counting on them

And, what are the units you get in the first reform? Neitos and Arjos?

Thanks a lot again guys
Awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you. Yeah I just personally don't like the Gallic Light Cavalry because I find skirmisher cavalry in general to be a bit underwhelming in EB. But that's just my personal opinion, and if they work for you then great!

I don't think there's anything wrong with starving out the enemy and letting them sally out to you. Some people like to attack because it is harder then defending, but personally, I think in the situation you were in, starving them out and ensuring victory instead of risking it all with an attack was the smart thing to do. Keep in mind, though, that the longer your troops are in enemy territory, the lower their morale in battle will be, as they start to ration and starve.

I'm glad we could help you out! But I'll leave the reforms to someone more qualified to explain them than me, plus, I think Athanaric may have already answered your question.
