Brainstorming for a last Casse campaign

Either... Invade Iberia once you have the British Isles
Or........ Try playing the game using only Goidelic units, at last an Irish Empire!
Or even.... Try take the Mediterranean islands, in particular the Balaerics, Crete, Cyprus and if possible Sicily then become a pirate nation to fund yer conquests, yar!

Pirate empires are fun

You'll be spending most of your money on fleets, fighting a loopsided naval war with carthage though.... :(

Getting a Belgian province right away, disbanding the fleet, and building ports there can make a lot of money.
One thing I tried, was that for every settlement in the Isles taken, I had to take a mainland settlement, and I had a lot of fun with that campaign.
Also, don't build roads around your capital until your ready to fight rebels.

no, get all of the British Isles under your control. they all have ports (i think) so they will rack up a lot of money in trade.
plus its fast and easy to take over the Isles. then invade Gaul, or Iberia, like I did. Iberia is better because its better for trading, i think.

Its one tough cookie though, I am there myself (Put an entire Lusotanan army to flight yesterday with my Belgae troops in less than 3 min, very proud) and I am finding the logistics of retraining my armies a nightmare, plus the Lusotanan are tough fighters and there are alot of them, but the same can be said for going to Gaul and running into the Sweboz.

Well thanks everyone for your suggestions and I decided to go for taking a continental province for every british one in the end. Its 258 and I have the 2 two belgae provinces to really unite my people and also the province north of my capital. The Guals aren't really expanding at all but they do have a lot of stacks and the Sweboz have expanded well and are now bordering me.

I've kept my armies quiet weak with only basic warriors/skirmishers, one heavy infantry and only 2 long slingers/archers per so actually got defeated when I tried to take Angelsey (I'm no good at remembering province names) which was fun.

Hopefully one of my allies will attack me soon and things can really get started as I am making far too much money for my liking at the moment.

Anyway thanks for all your kind suggestions.
