I'm in trouble.
In my Roman campaign, I pacified the South, Corsica and Sardinia, so I don't get much grief with the Epirotes and the Carthaginians.
But now, the Aedui are getting so powerful that they lay siege to this Aventicos town that I conquered. I mostly trained Celts to deal with Celts, and even got a full stack army (fully trained Roman citizen legion, hastati, principes, and triarii etc) into the vicinity. Except after a few victories, the armies got decimated. after facing several stacks.
So while I'm occupied with Aedui, the Sweboz starts attacking. I took one of their towns (Iuva or something), looted it, and abandoned it.
But then a few turns later, the Sweboz and Aedui ally and laid siege to Aventicos and captured it. Then they turned to Milan, and Segesta. I tried to reinforce Segesta by moving the Arpi Garisson of Archers to Segesta, but the city fell before the reinforcements could get there.
So now, Milan is on it's last legs, with Sweboz eyeing Patavium.
And the 1 turn recruiting is killing me. I need more men! I could bring the men up from the central and South penisula, but it's just too slow.
One thing I learned though, is the value of Archers, specifically, fire arrows are my friend.
Oh, and I got this Scipio Asina guy into Vanquisher of Germans when he captured Iuva, but then he died a few turns later in the siege.
