Arverni Vs. Aedui

Well , my arjos and milnaht failed terribly against romans with uirodusios , drwdae and chariots nearby so that makes them ..very weak . For multiplayer at least.

I know Gauls get crazy when they get chevros so it should get fun in single player though.

Well, my Arjos defeated Romans with Uirodusios but no Drwdae or chariots on the field, so I suppose that makes them super powerful.

guard mode romans maybe?
never could stand them anyhow , bastarnae ftw!!!

i have a few replays saved somewhere , i might dig them up for you .. celtic factions can "seem" fairly overpowered in MP when used in a certain way ... quite fun >=)

If you can murder all the Roman cavalry without getting shot to ribbons by arrows, you should be able to win quite easily. Otherwise guard mode Romans will destroy you.

Maybe . Let's be honest , as celts , you have the Cidaihn so cavalry isn't your main issue. the issue is that no unit of 2000 mnai can stand against a 1700 imperial cohort. Tried them all , Teceitos with chevs , milnaht , arjos ,batacorii ,all with uirodusios and gaesatate near them.

I find that celtic units are very weak against armoured opponents but very powerful against skill-only defence. That 0.225 lethality isn't as good as 1.3 with AP

Chevronned up Teceitos are some of your best units against Rome. The only problem is that Rome can just sit in guard mode and tire your units to death.

Roman cavalry is not a problem, but the arrows. If you survive that part of the match with less casualties, you must win.

@Burebista, Gaesatae eats anything, you just used them wrong. If you force the Romani player to attack you, Neitos overpowers any heavy infantry which doesn't have AP. Naked spearmen's main purpose is to inspire and frighten. Teceitos are good, but not main-liners, they are flankers, also don't expect them to fight if they get a cavalry charge from the rear. Milnaht is even better than Neitos, though their lack of armour makes them too easy prey for arrows, don't use them in the center. Arjos, some player can use them, some not, I can't use them. Batacorii? Half-naked spearmen against a Romani cohort? Naaaaah.

I've used them like Gaesatae in the mid arjos near them and milnaht on flanks .uiro in the back not engaging

Got 35 kills per unit against guard mode romani. Flanking wasnt an option as we were equally matched in numbers

Gaesatae did do 60 casualties truth be told
