This is the second scenario in a trilogy of northern, central and desert maps.
Once again there is a high population requirement on an enormous map.
Defences and military should be your priority early on. Find the meagre source of iron as soon as possible for export, to satisfy requests from Rome and in order to equip your legions.
There will be numerous native and enemy army attacks and frequent demands from Rome.
Pay attention to the road to Rome and ensure that it is open at all times!
I did not beat the map yet, so I do not give a review (it would be positive right now).
I like the challenge.
Why I write here, is to answer trolgu's question.
I could get the first triumphal arche.
I sent one untrained javelin force, one single soldier survived the way to the threatened city (a local uprising occurs at the entrypoint where the soldiers left and kills them).
I could not believe that this one soldier made it.
So it is just one enemy unit that threatened the city.
Funny idea.
