Celtic elite units

[NeoSpartan]

Well, my armies were like this: 4 gasaetaes, 1 general, 2 slingers. Thats all. And with these units i conquered cities with 8, 9, or 10 units garrisoned,and only 20 gasaetaes of my army getting killed. So, there was 2 armies marching to north killing casse, one armie marching to west, defeating lusotanna, 2 armies at the east killing what remained of sweboz and epeiros, and 2 on greece. From each turn, playing vh/m, i could take 2, 3 or 4 cities.

I used to end eachturn with only 6000 denarii, but was very rare to left one citie with no structures getting built. I never had a good amount of money, like 20000, or 30000, because all my money was used to recruitment and bulding. So i think its possible to upkeep many gasaetaes and conquer many cities. But anyway, ill create a new campaing VH/VH, and see if recruiting more levy or medium units will be more effective.

I agree with you that AI doesn't know how to fight gasaetae, they almost dont create missile units and use them with the porpuse of killing my naked man, and thanks forthe information Decimus Attius, i didn't know that defense skill only covers meele xD... but, anyway, thanks for the discussion guys, i realy earned good information, and i'll make more tests to take new conclusions ;D.

NONONNONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!

IF your going on VH/VH you HAVE TO spam Gaesatae Anything less won't do trust me on that.

Anyways... whatever difficulty your playing now.. start a new campaing AND do the following:
TAKE FATIGE OFF!!!!

this will make the AI in battle much more of a challenge as it won't tire its troops. As u know tired troops have lower morale and being attacked by Gaesate drops thier morale even more so they will ROUT in an instant. Fatige Off doesn't let this happen. Nor does it let u sit back and the AI tire its troops to get to you when ur defending

Another thing u can do when you ARE NOT in VH/VH is after u kill the Arverni is to start taking some rebel settlements. The big strong garrison makes it harder in 1.0 and DON'T attack Rome until it attacks you. In my Aedui Campain Rome took unitil 250some to attack me, the Boii Gallum and Sagistanii (SP, the guys next to the Boii Gallum) held Rome back for YEARS!
