If it takes increasing the cost of the German/Roman units or what ever then so be it, but as far as the statistics are concerned that is where the historical part comes in. Balance the units through cost or some other method.
    As far as the moral goes the German units have 10 units with 11 moral and under, and have 2 with 13 moral and 1 with 15 moral 3 with 16 and 1 with 17..
    The Celts have 18 under 11 and 5 with 13 moral/3 with 15/5 with 16/1 with 17/2with18/1 with 19/ 1 with 22
    And if u look and play the game German basic units are a little better than Gallic ones. Especially in the morale side of the story. Only Minhalt and Bataroas can give a real hard fight to Germanic non elites. Now, part of the reason Gallic non elite infantry will hold up against germanic infantry is because they won't get hit with the AP of most Germanic units.

    Only Gallic elites are better than the Germanic troop line up. BUT, exept for the Gaestae, they will all suffer from the AP damage most Germanic units do.

    Now u have to understand these Gallic elites are outragusly expensive!!! Only the Mori Gaesum have a good cost, and u can only get them in one province. The Cornutos are EXTREMELY expensive and you can only get them in one province too.
    Also, all Gallic Elites GET BEAT by Cohorts Imperatoria, each and every time. PLUS the Cohorts are cheaper. So YES the roman troop lineup already beats the Gallic Elites, especially the Cohorts imperatoria.
    -The only exeption is the Brihentin who is a very good cavarly and I am not afraid to have it fight Hetairoi.

    As for Polybian troops, in my post I explained the Polybian Principes beat Minhalt. They also happen to beat all other non-elite Gallic infantry.
