Here is what I did over the weekend. I let my two armies in Spain march side by side to Numantia. I let only one army stand before the town hoping the enemy would attack. It worked. He attacked with 1250 (garrison + field army)against 500. I won. However, 30 enemies managed to retreat and so I could not take Numatia

So I took my two armies and started what is called now the march through Celtiberia. I fought 4 battles against the Gauls and killed 5129. This stopped their activities in Spain for a while

In those battles I lost 488 men. So I killed more than 10 times as many Gauls. However, my armies were tires and needed to be filled again. I attacked Osca and took it in 259. Then I marched south and took the last Spanish town (256). No Spain is done. These 6 battles were much harder. I killed 3750 Spanish and lost 2892. Looks like I am not very good in attacking towns.

Now I am building Spain as my base camp (feels like Hannibal). Then I will start to continue. I finished the first phase of the game, but I am too slow.

same here about being slow
maybe i will restart and blitz through gaul breaking their armies and then take one spanish town to retrain and then finish off spain
i need to not lose so many men so i can build up a fleet and not just constantly refill my armies
i landed an army to the far north and i plan to march down to thrace and take that to be a base for attacking jerusalem, damascus, and cyprus and rhodes adn crete

Am I the last man standing? That is a shame. Game is just beginning to become more exciting. I landed near Caralis last night. Besieged the town that was held by a Scipii FM only. Then a big Scipii army landed in my back and I fought them. Although being outnumbered I killed 1808 and lost only 221. My faction leader did a very good job. However, he died the very next turn. Romans are not better than Gauls.

By the way, I lost my first battle - aginst Gauls. They managed to bring a multistar general from France to Spain. He menaged to attack a reenforcement group (1 FM 1 sword 1 dog) and won. Now I am hunting him
