Caesar's Victories in Gaul
2:47:52 - 2:51:13 (03:21)
In 58 BCE, Julius Caesar is having a blitzkrieg in Gaul, where he has essentially neutered one of the most powerful tribes of the Kelt and smashed the player from the outside who'd come in and intervened in Gallic politics. This has happened in just one year, with three battles, killing a lot of civilians, and Caesar has never been far from the political game, giving favors as he goes.
