Well that's my 10 turns finished, I've lost 1 major battle and that was against Briton where I inflicted a phyrric victory on the gauls but losding the faction leader and some of the best troops in the Army, I've taken all of Spain and the next move will be a tricky one.

the save game can be found here

Unless Simon's back, I guess it's MonwarH's turn, or, if he's not here, The_Emperor could do the next reign.

I'm still out of action, unfortunately. The ETA for my computer is this Friday; I'll be happy to pick up a savegame at that time.

Ok no problem, I'll PM MonwarH and see if he is interested in taking up the sword against the Barbarians.

BTW our treasury is very very poor, i suggest disbanding some of the merc i hired to support my Spanish Campaign.

Are mercs expensive compared to native troops? I know in MTW, they were double the support cost. But in RTW, it seems opposite - they have an inflated purchase cost but "fair" support costs. If they are low quality, I guess they should be disbanded. But I find the "special" mercs (Balaeric slingers, Basternae falxmen, Samartian cavs etc) to be real bargains.
