Gaul

[Rome:Total Slayer]

I found an easy way to take Rome with the Gauls.

First build a sacred grove to teutalis in Mediolonium and a meeting hall in Patavium as soon as possible

Second let the Julii have Segesta. They will leave a small force there and will annoy them when you attack it later. Get a stack of Fanatics and Swords plus a good general and take segesta.

Third make two more stacks of good units. One to guard the bridges and the other to get on the boats.(your going to need a fleet of at least 5 ships for saftey)

Keep beating the Crap out the julii and the Senate army will attack you. Retreat and stay close.

sail your army down to the opposite of Rome and march army to attack a small force in Rome and the senate is destroyed you can now conqer the rest of the Julii. make sure to keep a large garrison in Rome for the Scipii will come.

The Gauls, after beating them with ease with the Julii, are quite fun to play!

Rome: Total Slayer, that is a good strategy but I prefer to wait until I have about loads of swordsmen (make the Hastatii choke) and Forester warbands. Also, I find War Hounds very effective!
