- Condate Redonum (Gallic Town) Region - Armorica
- Patavium (Gallic Large Town) Region - Venetia
- Lemonum (Gallic Town) Region - Aquitania
- Medolanium (Gallic Large Town) Region - Cisalpine Gaul
- Narbo Martius (Gallic Town) Region - Narbonensis
- Numantia (Gallic Large Town) Region - Celtiberia
Victory Conditions
- Long Campaign: Hold 50 regions including Rome
- Short Campaign: Hold 15 regions and outlast or destroy the Julii and the Senate
Units
Gaul is a well rounded faction that gets it's powerful troops early in the game, usually well before other factions. This is their greatest strength.
