In regards to your campaign fighting the Sauros with the Sweboz? Good thing you have access to Baltic Archers; otherwise it would be a nightmare fighting the Sarmatians with such an infantry-focused faction.
I notice that the Arverni are doing pretty well for themselves, which pleases me. It doesn't happen nearly often enough, IMO. They usually hang on, but just barely. And sometimes, especially when I'm a faction that's nearby, they end up getting wiped out within 10~20 years, like they did in my current Romani campaign.
Dang, that's some impressive AI expansion for so early in the game. What difficulty are you playing on?
Still, that's a very secure base for further expansion, although I'd take Serdike as well, if only for the awesome Thracian units one can train there.

Anyway, a small update on my romani campaign. I made peace with Aedui, then allied with them (...and got military access with a bit of financial incentive,) which apparently pissed of the Lusitani, given that they attacked me a few turns later. I repelled the attack, albeit with high-ish (30%) losses, mostly because 1. That was my first time fighting this particular faction and 2. That stack was filled with highly experienced (3 bronze chevron and above) troops. Several more attacks ensued, all of which were repelled.
Once those attacks had passed, I launched a counter attack at the nearest Lusitanian town: Gergovia. Now, that town had an absurd garrison--very experienced--so I had to starved it out. The problem? It would take seven turns, and there were 10+ enemy half to full stacks in the area.
Thankfully, I had three legions stationed on the border, with another two on the way, so I besieged gergovia with one of them, while the two others blocked all possible approaches from the south. What ensued was seven turns of lopsided victories, which ended with me taking Gergovia, then suing for peace in exchange for Tolosa.
