Aedui or Arverni

Crete is actually still a rebel province, the KH have had and army sat there since the beginning of the game but don't seem to have done anything with it.

You know, you could actually force the Baktrians onto Krete just before their last city in Asia falls. That's what I did in my Saka campaign (because the Saka VCs don't require the destruction of any faction). That way, you can have a "Kretan" faction to add to the diversity...


Sorry for going OT.

That sounds like quite a feat actually. Especially if you do it without the console...

I had to use the console for the teleportation (of the Baktrian FMs) and for giving myself enough money for the bribe (withdrew the excess sum afterwards of course). Didn't use Forced Diplomacy though. And I had conquered Krete myself beforehand.

Perhaps an Aedui player could do this even without resorting to money cheats. After all, the huge advantage of Gauls over other Barbarians is their decent, though not spectacular, economy, which allows for some nice bribes.

Aedui definately. Carnute Cingetos are amazing units and their overall feel just seems better than that of the Arverni. Also, the color on the campaign map isn't as galling as that pale lime green.

Actually, in my experience, Sweboz has had the better economy. Maybe, it's because I went east and captured Gotland ASAP? Anyway, I was making 20k per turn for about twenty turns; nose-dived after I bought Eburonum whilst invading Britain (and purchasing nearly half of Casse's militaryteehee)

who was it that was saying how good Balroae are? They were right.
