Spain

I mean you should take the first two and then cross the Alps for the Julii. This is how I'm going to do it.

Never tried that. I rather do island hopping. I find attacking into North Africa and Palma makes me a lot richer.

It seems to make sense to sack the Gallic towns on the way to the Julii but still is a pain. I find myself fighting about 8 warbands a turn for several turns straight.

It's boring but still attrition. It's ridiculous how much low level spanish inf sucks against warbands.

I use Slingers vs. Warbands

If worst comes to worst, then I'll lure them with slingers (if they're ammo is exhausted and charge roud the back with cav.

Slingers? you mean baelerics or regular slingers that you can build?

Baelerics are rare machine guns best deployed killing jucier targets than warbands.

As for regular slingers, then it does not contradict my belief that taking on Gaul before you get a city is counter productive.

IMHO, far bigger fish to fry elsewhere.

I know for a fact that Corduba-Tingi and Osca-Palma are good trade pairs. You get a gigantic trade boost in the first 10 turns or so after capturing both of these pairs, especially after ports have been built. So it makes sense to charge south across the Gibraltar.

I always hire Balaerics and use them against any enemy. It's because the Gaul were pumping out armies of warbands against me, and the Balaerics can get some major kills against them.

So I have strong position in Italy and in West Europe and starting my african campaign, BUT maybe I will finish after my campaign for the Greek Cities.
P.S Bull warriors are cool.
