Thanks. I outflanked them in a couple of big battles and now they're no longer a problem. It's almost 250 BC, and I've pushed the Gauls back to a mere 2 provinces (the one in Spain, and the coastal one in the north of France). An army is already enroute towards the one in France, but unfortunately the Spanish decided to backstab me and cancel our alliance so I will first have to kill some Spaniards before I can finish the Gauls...

Question: What are good targets for training assassins? Low influence diplomats are probably the best option but there aren't many of those running around in my little part of the map, so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
