i agree but just as you finish off 1 nation the neighbouring AI has a habit of starting another war - most of my expansion is driven purely by self-defence to stop endless rounds of troops trying to peck away my empire. The romans where sending wave after wave through the alpes in the end i had to invade them by sea to take out their cities which provided them samite heavy infantry and moved up to join the rest of my empire

now that gaul has been taken the germanics are picking a fight - i'm temped to force a peace but in fairness they're right to attack me now before i get the chance to reinforce the area. the same can't said for what's left of cathage since i only let them live for the sake of a buffer
