Good idea Titus, I kind of did that in my game. I conquered Segesta early just cause I wasn't running a totally historical game, but I did raid Bononia for the reforms. I saw the Aedui being slowly beaten by the Averni (the Aedui took Vienne but the Averni took Bribacte) and decided to give it to Aedui. I signed an alliance with the Aedui I set up a puppet king in Massalia. But about 230 BC the Aedui betrayed me and made a massive attack on Segesta captured it and all the gold I've given them to fight Averni they used to invade Roman lands.

It's been a pretty interesting campaign and now I will take my time wiping out the Cisalpine Gauls to be able to own Patavium by 200. I'm not really following history, but more like slowing my conquests.
