HELLO!!!!!

Well no ones perfect while checking the veneti ships I took no notice that they were available only to gauls which is somewhat odd because I always assumed that casse get almost every unit that gauls get (excluding the factional elites).

After all this time playing EB I had no idea this site existed:

My housemate shouted at me the other day cos I spent twenty minutes on the toilet when she was getting ready to go out (I didnt dare tell her I was looking up Hellenic ships).

PelicanMan, as a veteran, yet unsuccesful Casse player (7 games, no wins) my advice about Casse ships is this, and I am very sorry if it sounds patronising, never ever load your best veteran army into one of the tier 1 Casse ships and hope to transport it for more than one turn. The English channel can swarm with pirate fleets and as soon as you think they have gone they will catch you, sending champions, chariots and Caledonians to the bottom of the briney blue before you can unload them in green Gaul.

Good luck with the Casse!

Even when he's not starting threads but simply making posts, Brennus delights us with his integrated humor and game advice. What a champ. Ladies and gentlemen, Brennus!

Hey guys,

So I put in some turns last night on my campaign and as you can see I have two standing armies which are about to back stab my allies(haven't done it yet). The Arverni Are left with two provinces and the Aedui are getting way too strong. I have marked up the image to show where my two armies are headed. Hopefully this doesn't break to many of my alliances. As for Britain, the Towns/Large Towns-cities are sitting comfortably raking in cash. I have built up Scotland to boost as much morale and experience as possible so that the Skirmishers come out as monsters.

Anyways, have a look, let me know what you guys think I should/could do.

Maybe just use your 2 armies to take the strongest town first?

You can gamble it, by storming with two armies, but you don't want to leave Bagacos undefended...
Maybe a garrison of 4 spearmen and 2 swordsmen should be enough :)

I noticed that every time I tried to swing around my navy ships to pick up the Army at my capitol; wow, 2 pirate ships against 6 tier 1 ships and I lost more then half of the fleet!!!! I ended up not going for Spain and took two rebel provinces in northern Gaul and do not know which direction to take afterwords. I will upload a pic tonight to show my current status.

The Casse either need to build a big pirate-bashing navy, or restrict their naval troop convoys to very short hops across the Channel (short enough to land the army in Gaul and then return the ship to port in the same turn) and then march the army to the target area overland.
