WRE - which way?

Hey Total Warriors!

Right playing WRE and have I think pretty much settled my lands. Removed expensive army units, disbanded a lot of naval units (kept some to ferry troops from Britain, Sicily etc. Now....waiting for my economy to pick up - do I attack factions to gain some buffer lands before the hordes arrive - or build myself up and keep still until they come. Could attack from Carthage along north africa - but is it worth it?

Any advice would be super!

This is my blitz WRE strategy.
This campaign was played on vh/vh.In your first turn you must transfer your capital to Massilia.Then you must disband all foederati cavalry and infantry units west of Massilia.Destroy all military buildings in all your settlements except Londinium,Augusta Treverorum,Rome,Carthage,Salona and Aqiuncum to get necessary cash.In all your settlements build only temples and ports.With Marcus The Gambler and with units from Augusta Treverorum and Augusta Vindelicorum attack Vicus Alemanni.After one turn of besieging Vicus Alemanni you must attack it and capture that settlement-exterminate it!

With Placus The Horseman and units from Eburacum attack Dal Raida.In the next turn Celts will try to beat Placus while laying siege but you will easily beat them and you will capture Dal Raida-exterminate it.Move your units from Londinium next to Eburacum but don’t enter,leave Eburacum empty because Celts will bribe it.With those units next to Eburacum attack Eburacum and besiege it.Capture it but before you capture Tara.After capturing Dal Raida build there bireme and transfer your units to Ireland to besiege Tara in the next turn.Hire mercenaries and before capturing Tara ,capture Eburacum then Tara.
With your assassin near Samarobriva kill family member in Campus Frisii and after killing him with units from Samarobriva and Colonia Agripina and with Nero Flavius besiege Campus Frisii.Don`t capture it until the last turn,if you don’t want to be attacked from Saxons.With Spirius Flavius and units from Aquincum capture Campus Quadi and after capturing it stay there 2 turns to prevent rebellion and after that attack and with units and Spirius Flavius from Campus Quadi capture Campus Marcomanni.
Units from Carthago Nova transfer to Corduba and wait for the best moment to attack Tingi.When Berbers make their moves toward Carthage attack Tingi with those units and general from Corduba and hire some mercenaries.Transfer family member from Caralis to Carthage,because he is your best money maker.Change religion in Lepcis Magna to cristianity.
In Salona recruit peasants turn after turn to avoid rebellion and attack from ERE.Comitatenses from Avaricum should be headed toward Vicus Frankii.Keep them going turn after turn.
Your ultimate goal is to capture Constatinople.How?Be allies with ERE until the last turn at any cost. Comitatenses from Tarentum,Rome and Syracuse with your heir should capture Constatinople and units from Ravenna should capture Kydonia.For doing this you must be very lucky,I was.
So in 365AD winter you should attack Constatinople,Kydonia and if you want Vicus Frankii.In the next turn capture Constatinople,Kydonia,Camus Quadi and if you can Vicus Frankii.It will be 366 summer and you will achieve victory.You don’t have to recruit any units except peasants but you must hire lots of mercenaries using my strategy.
With starting 25 settlements you have to capture Vicus Alemanni,Del Raida,Tara,Tingi,Campus Quadi,Campus Marcomanni, Constatinople,Kydonia and Campus Frisii.All you need is luck and to be a great player.It’s not impossible give a try and you will complete campaign in 7 turns.Exterminate all captured settlements!Keep taxes as low as possible everywhere from first turn!
