First few battles went well, most likely because my opponents couldn't tell their elbows from their arses. When I started playing more experienced players(along with more cheesier variation of players, such as the noobbox formation, spartan corner camping) I noticed that Gaul are seriously lacking in some match ups. Mostly cavalry heavy and long ranged archer orientated armies. (Egypt, Rome, Macedonia, Germanic gothic cavalry heavy armies..)
Am I doing something wrong? Or are my warbands and nobles actually meant to stand up to a 5/6 unit praetorian cavalry charge?

I only wonder if Gauls are obsolete because Germania seemingly can do all that Gaul can, with a more demoralizing effect, Phalanxes, better infantry melee and much sturdier cavalry.
