I played the Aedui once back in the days the open beta wasn't even there. I tell you if there's one thing important when playing them is finishing of the aeudui quickly enough to build up and expand. Also the Belgae provinces have quite good units. Anyway I've played with the Aedui in a more recent build and I tell you the gaesatae are worth their money, but they aren't that effective against triarii. However if you are able to train slingers (that's a new unit no?) do. Use them to take out the triarii. 2 slingers a triarii, One which they'll chase one who'll sling at their behinds. Really effective. Aslo note that your generals have verry good troops and they are free too. So don't be afraid to use, tough be carefull to retreat them when needed. You don't want to loose your generals.

Thank you for the advice, Gertgregoor.

Will try and get some slingers as soon as I have money..

And as an update on the current situation (on Vh-H to remind you.). I've recently destroyed the Aedui military in mainland Gaul with a few key battles and am besieging Bibracte and their northern-most city (can't think of the name..). Shame though that the Romani are coming north.. and they decline my requests for an alliance..

.......hopefully they will listen.

Well it seems Taranis (don't really know why I picked him for this AAR but yet..) has given me the time you speak of. The Romans are fighting heavily with Epeirote and the remaining Aedui are still between me and them. Would actually prefer to just destroy them but their armies are a lot stronger then mine due to the money injections they get..

note that Massilia will give you hoplites and is good for money (sea trade) yet it will fasten the war with the Romans. Anyway keep the AAR comming!

Of course the AAR will come, hopefully I'll manage an update this evening. Perhaps I'll take Massilia someday.. When I have money+an army..

Oh and I guess I've been quite lucky. *grins* When the Aedui send a small stack towards my undefended lands a rebel army destroyed them. Shouldn't we all love the amount of rebel spawns in EB? *laughs*
