Are the Galatians too powerful in v.95?

They always seem to mow down Pontus, Pergamon, Bithynia, etc.

They also trounced my Athenian armies in a friend and I's MP game.

Does this seem to happen to anyone else? Never had a tougher fight with any other faction (however, I enjoy the intense battles, this mod is great!)

Could be their unit stats are a bit on the high side, I'll check them out in my current campaign and get back to you.

Thanks Ano! Looking forward to your findings.

My games its the other way around and Pontus dominates, one thing is Galatia is major faction and recieves the major faction base income and its surrounded by many minor factions like Bithyania, Sardes, Cappadocia so it absorb these factions fast

Interesting, I've noticed AI Factions have a big boon in there economy and it makes sense now that you mention it.

This is going to be a long war.

On another note, the Lugii also seem to get big fast. In my Rome game, they have spread all the way to Thrace (and perhaps farther).

Dont think so. Helping Carthage AI, okay but stop telling people this or that faction is too strong against other AI. Depends on the campaign.

Most of the times I see either Pontus or Seleucids having a raging boner, Pergamon being 3rd and Galatia being close 4th position in anatolia domination.

I like Galatians the way they are. Galatian Gaesatae (Galatikoi Tindanotae) is my favorite infantry unit in game.
I know it is probably because of balance but other Celtic faction could use more/same men in their Gaesatae units.

because edit seems to be broken I must ask this in new post..
Why Galatians don't have any foot archer unit in their roster?

Had that a week ago. But for some reason, i can edit my posts now.

I think it's one of those things where it depends on the campaign you are playing. I haven't noticed Galatia become a serial expander like the Suebi or Lugii, but sometimes they do.

In my Pontus campaign, the Galatians did go off to a very good start they took about half of what you would call turkey, but then they declared war on Pergamon, who then subsequently wiped them off the map.

The great thing about total war (although sometimes you want it a certain way), is that every new game is different and is also dependant on your own actions too.
