Hey Guys,
Just a quick update.
I ended up sending spies to northern Italy and Central Europe and to my astonishment, Rome is having a b***h of a time dealing with the Gauls. I also took the advice of giving the Sweboz 200 mnai per turn for 30 years to keep peace with them (hopefully they do not attack!)

I defeated three small armies of the Romans and their diplomat came and offered a ceasefire. Instead, I counter offered asking for Massilia (don't remember how its spelled), trade rights, and money. Then counter offered giving up massilia and trade rights, and asked not to attack. I was surprised by the fact that they actually gave it up!!! unfortunately They gave me freed slaves as units and they completely suck so I sent all 8 units to attack Tolosa knowing that they would loose, but hey, I weakened them sufficiently.

Since I have secured my way points, and I just had a Family member trained in Ynes-Mon, I am building an Elite army and sending it off to conquer Spain. From then on, I will decide whether to continue the campaign or not.

Anyways, any advice would be appreciated!

THE P-MAN
