You can rush down Italia and free your fellow western greeks from the tyranny of the barbarians.

I think you should go for as many rebel settlements you can . The more southern the better. If i were you i would get Burdigala & Velika . or maybe storm Arse and the 2 quarthadastei provices in spain. then steal the balearics too. that will practically end all problems with quarthadastei as they won't be able to retaliate. then consolidate by taking all Iberia.

optional stratedgy...go for sicily and the 2 italian islands. nice spot with plenty of money. And greeks , if u wanna roleplay.

I would go for Arse, but be prepared to pay Carthage 200 mnai per turn not to attack me.

Because I'm not a conquering power, I'm using type IV governments in all settlements bar Massalia. I'm playing on M/M. That's probably why the Aedui and Arverni have largely ignored me so far. Though the Romans keep trying to bribe the governor of Tolosa, having given up on doing the same to my faction heir in Massalia.

Raising an entirely Celtic force to have a go at Burdigala sounds like a plan, though in a bit when my economy can support one. Does Burdigala have mines? More rebel settlements is good since it doesn't provoke an immediate war. Storming down the east coast of Hispania isn't going to happen, though. Its one settlement at a time at a gentle pace, building a confederation takes time.

I could "exile" a family member to Krete. Ensure that him and his whole branch of the family is removed to there, then send no support once they're there. Kyrene is another possiblity, though that would put me right between Egypt and Qarthadast. Fun later on in the game, mind.

If in doubt, go for Arse. My philosophy in EB and (much to the discomfort of wives/girlfriends etc) life in general.

Get Pytheas' works and go to Britannia or Hibernia, you'll have a safe economic area there...
To get there maybe travel by land with an army till Burdigala, while a little navy circumnavigate Hispania, or you could RPing an allied Veneti and move an Admiral nearby...

I need to ask: do you do those "campaigns" using "show_cursor" and so on, or do you actually board a fleet and sail? XD

I moved them. Haven't got time to mess about sailing them there. Took me about two turns to have Massalia and divest myself of Taras, Ambrakia, Epidamnos, my fleet and elephants.
