help with guals

[philip augustus]

i need help with the gauls im playing as rome and ive already beaten back pyrus even though i havent taken any of the southern citys and i took patavuim but the gauls keep on sending armys of swordmen that my triple bronze experince trarii cant even defeat they seem to have so many stacks of men

[Kara Kolyo]

no need of triarii against gauls, at least on medium diff. in my roman campaign gaul left with 2 cities. the strategy i can offer is don't wait them to come to you- bring the battle on their land. they are supposed to field larger armies than you but what i do is go to their land and wait to attack me. then the hastati and principes are lined up with fire at will. no heavy cav. or general withstands 3 units throwing pila at them. just make sure to have cavalry to counter the foresters. finaly use the terrain to tire them and thats about it

Yes, play defensive, but on their territory. Push them back past the bridge and then you can hold them off there while you build up again.
