    As Casse it’s best to attack right at the start. I tried disbanding my army once and to build up, thought it would give the rebels more time to build up and make things harder. But then a full stack came and siege my city. Quick end to that campaign…

    On VH/M in 0.74 I had no problem maintaining a moderate army (sufficient to dissuade others) and then expanding economically for a while. I just thought it was a bit dull.

    Is there something wrong with the autocalc function? Or did something get all mangled up when I installed EB?

    I was playing as the Casse, and one of my family members was caught alone out of town by a band of brigands. Being too lazy to play it out, I autocalc'd, and the guy won! It was something ridiculous like 700 guys vs. my 30-member bodyguard.

    I guess the Successor's and Karthadastim's bodyguards have the same problem, but mostly because of their insane stats. (Playing the Arche Seleukia, I've got so many family members, that I form goon squads with them and send them about my empire putting down rebels, brigands, etc. Unless there's horse archers, I can usually count on them to win, despite what the odds read at the pre-battle summary scroll.)

    I attacked right away with the Casse. Just moved towards the other southern most city and sieged it. The rebels then began to move towards me so I hid in the woods and was able to ambush one larger stack and crush it. Then the other stack attacked me and I hid in the woods and forced them to come to me and crushed them again. Then I sieged the city and got out of debt. I had took all the British Isles before Barae died.

    There are two stacks that start off fairly close to you and one that comes down from Caledonia. I squander all my money on troops the first turns and attack all the stacks separately. After these decisive battles the Isles are pretty much yours for the taking. Also, Barae is usually the Celtic equivalent of superman when the battles are over.

    I've got the Isles, all the coastlines in northern Iberia/upper Gaul, all of middle Gaul, a bit of southern Gaul, and Barae is now kicking along the mediteranian coast and slaughtering Greek pansies at the ripe old age of 68...and now 71...

    Just auto-resolve those rebel scum.

    I was never able to recruit the Klydabre(sp?), when and where do you recruit them.

    I bribe them when they pop up as rebels in Britain circa 230's BC. I'm guessing they're part of the reform that happens God-knows-when. I only did it once, since they cost me 16000+ freakin' minai.
    They eat armor, and they tend to survive quite well if placed strategically and kept away from missiles...
