that's quite counterproductive, from my POV. But that's just my personal bias.
a) why would you want to burn all those gallic cities to the ground when all that eventually happens is that you'll have to repair the damned barbarian buildings again? They don't disappear off the 'town' display, they just show up as 100% damaged, and will deprive you of retraining and public order facilities that you eventually have to spend on. Obviously you weren't listening to Marcus the Centurion's admonition: Your objective is to capture the city, not destroy it.
b) Cheap easy kills are okay, it's exciting, but is it worth taking up one entire unit card (or two, in your case) just so you get that 5% chance of hitting the enemy general?
c) I wholeheartedly agree on this one. Just that, well, most of the time they're too damned inaccurate anyway to hit. So not worth the time, the risk, the expense, and the lower mobility of armies and manoeuvre with siege weapons to burden the movement.
d) More likely (read the post just before yours) the stupid elephants will just step on you. It's dumb to hope to kill elephants with lucky hits--you'd need at least 13 of them. Spook them, maybe. But not kill them.
e) I fail to see why you're so excited about friendly fire. Most people on this forum are searching for ways to minimise FF.
f) ...and they're practically useless in most contexts.
