However, you are able to take Rome much more quickly with much less troops than the Germans if you get lucky with the spy. With the Germans, you pretty much have to abandon your settlements to muster the required army, and still need several turns to consolidate them into one army and march on Rome.
With the Gauls, the required army is right there above the Julii territory. Just bring a few more warbands from the nearby two settlements, and you are good to go. This prevents you from having to abandon your other settlements to the Britons. Unlike the Germans, a war with Briton and Germans, and a war with the Romans is quite feasable because you do not have to take the resources from France to try for a push on Rome.
Of course, taking the Julii's cities instead of going for an all out blitzkrieg against Rome will allow you to replenish your armies in case your spy fudges up.
