If this is carried out in full you will have 2 experienced armies ready for another campaign once the Gauls are destroyed. It is also wise to have one of your 2 armies (see above) act as a field army while the other besieges cities and acts as a reinforcement army. It is important to take their port/coastal cities (or at least blockade them) ASAP to rob them of this valuable source of income.

Once northern Italy is secured, you can turn your thoughts to the campaign into Gaul's interior. For some reason, the Gauls never attack Massillia, at least not in force, so it is very important that Massillia is secured as a buffer before you attack northern Italy. If you dont take Massillia, you will have to deal with the whole army of Gaul when you attack Mediolanium and Patavium, and you will most certainly be defeated and will be faced with anihilation. It is of vital strategic importance that you take Massillia, as this will separate the rest of Gaul from their Northern Italian settlements of Mediolanium and Patavium, allowing you to take these cities without the Gauls being able to send aid to the besieged. Send your detatchment to take Massillia while you are still friendly with the Gauls. If not, then send a bireme from the port of Arretium to the indicated spot. You will be able to see it if you negotiated map info from the Gauls. Massillia is just south of Lugdunum, west of Mediolanium, and north of Caralis. Using your forts as a sort of 'Great Wall,' send a combined detatchment from your 3 cities (not from your armies) and take the rebel greek settlement of Massillia.

Plus, if you are able to recruit Principes, you can use the infamous Roman manipular style, which gave her a significant advantage both tactically and strategically. This setup allows you tactical flexibilty and strength, as well as the ability to attack and retire as needed, using your two armies interchangeably. It is recommended that you prepare for war by building two armies consisting of perhaps 4 Hastati, 2 Roman archers, 3 Velites, 3 Equites, 4 Principes (if possible) and 1-2 generals (if possible). If won, the Julii will be pole-vaulted to a positon of strength and security. This is the first step in the Julii's expansion, and will be one of the pivotal events in the campaign. Once this is done you can safely begin preparations for the Gaullic War. It would now be wise to construct forts at the two Po River crossings to prevent a surprise attack by Gaul. The Julii do not have the benefit of a rich sea trade like the Scipii and Brutii, and therefore must go elsewhere for economic stimulation (such as gaining trade rights with the wealthy East and with Greece) Though relatively easy to defeat man-to-man, the Julii's main enemy, Gaul, begins he game with overwhelming superiority, and could crush the Julii should they so choose.ДЈ. Their second city, Ariminum, starts the game 'in the red' financially.Дў. Though powerful, the Julii's main enemy, Gaul, begins the game wrought with rebellion and are too busy dealing with rebels, not to mention Britons and Germans, to invade Italy, and thus can be kept at bay with a little skillful diplomacy (offering trade rights, money in exchange for map info) to stay friendly with Gaul without having to enter into an alliance.ДЎ. Their first Senate Missions are very easy to completeДҐ. They begin facing relatively easy barbarian opponentsД¤. They have a good starting postion and will have alot of strategic momentum in the event of civil war.ДЈ. They are romans, so they have legionary infantry, and their soldiers have the renowned roman discipline.Дў. They are also a favorite among TWC members. Their faction color is a bright red, and on the campaign mini-map their territories are marked in bright red with deep black outlines. The Julii are one of the 4 roman factions on RTW vanilla. This guide is for anyone who would like to learn more about the Julii, and for anyone who is having trouble playing as them or against them.
