Eleutheroi (boii) stack accumilation

[Harpred]

its getting pretty ridiculous... I actually looked up the "Boii" and on wikipedia it shows them in about the same area, as one of the "most powerful celtic tribes" yeah no kidding :p im starting to regret very hard campaign mode, but thats what the guide recommended...

I got a "this year in history" that in 224 BC or something like that some roman general lend an incursion and defeated them. I cant imagine pulling that off, I'm playing it historically accurate and I dont have enough provinces. All the stacks are full of 19/19 celtic spearmen too so i dont know how im going to deal with them eventually ... i guess massive AI reinforcing armies of heavy infantry but that ruins my roman-style composition :o

Ahahaha! Oh, that's *glorious*! It's also more than a little abnormal. Yes, there's a respawning general to prevent ahistorically early expansion and to herd the AI in a particular direction, but there shouldn't be more than 2-3 stacks there, if even that many. Something's killing off the general, but leaving his army intact and making him respawn.

Anyway, my advice (unless you feel like slogging through a few hours' worth of very difficult combat!) would be to send a few relatively useless units and auto_win battles until those stacks are gone.

Also, I love what you've done with Gaul. Looks so wonderful without that hideous Arverni yellow mucking up the place.

I think you have to capture the town. Once you have taken Eburonum the respawning will stop.
But normally you have only a full stack defending the town and a second one patroulling the province. Maybe the Sweboz or Aedui-AI have sometimes defeated the AI-general and provocated the AI-stack spam.

There are the Boii in their central european homelands. And similar called tribes (maybe emigrants from an earlier century, don´t know the actual celtic history that exact) in the Po-Valley.
The roman fights in 225/224 bc happened against the northern Italian ones, no need to defeat the Bohemian ones in your campaign yet.

edit: What is going on in Iberia? Have the Casse conquered the western parts with a naval invasion? Have never seem them doing such a thing in my campaigns.

The script checks for a named character, if he is killed by assassins, a new army is spawned, and if that leader is killed too,...

Use Guide: How to use 'move_character' in EB or auto_win to drive them away.

I have had that exact same thing happen to me once. At least 4 to 5 full stacks around Eboronum, and also a couple of stacks to the north (not sure, could be the east) of Eboronum.

EDIT :

Damn you all, I'm going to reinstall EB ! There goes my holiday.

Doesn't seem you need to worry about those stacks anytime soon. It will tie any Sweboz or Getai expansion there. To me that looks like a perfect opportunity to send some green generals, hastati, velites, accensi, and equites to gain some experience. Of course i may recruit galatian swordsmen and celtic slingers to bulk up my imported army and to soak in casualties. I always find sending mercenaries of the same ethnicity to kill each other somewhat satisfying. Then use my generals to lead the Roman elements around the flanks to claim victory. I am the type that would find enjoyment micromanaging such a campaign provided the game doesn't crash. Celtic spearmen aint got nothing on me! I always welcome the added experience.

Be careful if you attack them, I once had a similar situation and decided to attack one of the armies with my new marian troops to get them some exp, next thing I know I had 30 previously dormant rebel fullstacks surging south out of the province to attack Italy and Illyria. Last time I played the game they had wiped out 6 of my full stack armies, overrun northern italy and were still coming.
