Do you have any tips how to beat the Romans with an Averni/Lusotanna factions?

Chariots', infantries' and fire arrows' scare effects stack on eachother, because they aren't the same type. However the same types don't, like Gaesatae's and Uirodusios' frightening effect won't stack on eachother.

I didn't realize that the chariot fright effect was any different from the infantry fright effect... I thought they were both simply "Frightens enemy infantry"

Even so, my point still stands about the half stack of Urodusios and Gaesatae... but this does increase the value of Cidainh even more

Your point stands, I know, one-sided naked armies don't work.

The idea of stacking of scare effects is from my experience only, as a naked/chariot combo could mass rout quite large armies in my and others' games as well. The descriptions are different when the effect begins to work(Intimidated by the enemy/Frightened by chariots/Panicked by fire arrows) although they have the same attribute in the EDU. If someone with better knowledge in this could clear this up... :)

ugh... I think I will just practice myself with the Lusotanna faction, partly because of their good selection of units and also because historically they were one of the most formidable enemies to Rome in a bloody war which dragged on.

Ur choice but you will have a harder time defeating the romans with them than with Arverni.

By what i read , you like to pin the enemy with inf and win by a charge with cav. For that you need hellenes as they are the ones that excell at that. Barbarians are good at making you turn and run , not for extraordinary holding power or for winning cav duels with relative ease.

Also , you might wanna consider Getai or Sweboz as they ar ethe bloody bunch , cheap as hell and very bloody .

I did try Getai myself on the online battle and i defeated quite a few infantry armies but got my *** kicked by Steppe or hellenes.
