Octavian Time Lepidus Guide?

Lepidus is quite easy, as the only main threats to the territory are Cantabri and Namnetes. For the Iberian Peninsula, you can either forgo using any of your generals there and rely on just spawning units, or use a general to speeden up the process of taking over Cantabri. For Cantabri, it's better to just bait them out of the city then ping ponging between cities while damaging them and eventually capture both cities, or just take Lepidus and friends directly towards Gesocribate to take over Namnetes, while building over elite units to take over Cantabri. If you spawn enough units, you can bait out the Cantabrian general and surround him, and just keep spawning units while surrounding him. He isn't a cav and has no archer commander, so he'll be stuck while you capture Cantabri, making the biggest annoyance in capturing Cantabri a joke. Meanwhile, your 2 units stationed in Carthage, an archer and a legionaire, needs atleast one of them to be a general to reduce chances of it failing in what they'll do, which is to assist Pontus in taking over territories of Antony in the east. An Infantry general with infantry commander is preferable, but someone like Crassus who deals a lot of damage to cities is also good. Their target should be Cnossos then Ephesus, then maybe Iconium or Pergamon, then wheeling back to capture Athenai and Corinth, then helping your allies north. Going straight for Athenai isn't really a good idea since you'll be wasting time there, as there will be some enemy legionnaires close by. For your units stationed in Lepsis, it is recommended to have both an infantry and cavalry general, preferably the speedier ones with march or movement items to be able to swiftly takeover Egypt and Nasamones. Declare war on Nasamones turn 1 or 2, i prefer turn 2 as you can position your generals at sea. Using strategy here like destroy is recommended, actually it should be the one taking priority in terms of strategy usage. 

For National technology, upgrading Governor  and Crane Mechanics is recommended, Governor first then Crane Mechanics. For bribing, bribe Armenia once so Parthia can pressure Cappadocia along with Pontus, and preventing Egypt from capturing Jerusalem. You'll be having a lot of resources, and their best use is by donating to Pontus and Parthia so they survive long enough for your units to arrive and clean-up. Also, if the enemy managed to defend the city and more reinforcements are coming, it's better to just abandon the siege and move to the closest city and siege that instead, then send some cavaly and capture it later.
