Try Casse.

Full-stacked Eleutheroi towns can be really ominous when you have just Ictis and Cassemorg(or whatever it's called in 0.8) and can only afford a halfstack before going to debt.

I made a couple of back-up saves, just in case it wasn't a good idea to start building an army in 260 BC' autumn. Hell, nearly a half stack of Botroas, along with 6 units of Cemmerhain, two units of Cwmer and some Gaeroas facing my meagre 5 Iosatae, 2 generals, 6 Botroas, 5 Gaeroas and some straggling levies to fill in as ram-holders/garrison...feels like a big massacre coming on. Especially if(read: when) Ratae sallies.

Then again, I'm playing on H/M.

I guess I'll try the good old "run like hell and hope they don't go after the slingers"-tactic. Or the little bolder "run like hell to the gate and chock it full before everyone comes out and hope for the best"-strategy. That worked with Ictis well enough, even though I was seriously outnumbered and facing a 7-starred monster Governor without a General.
First time a suicide-run has turned into a shining victory for me.
