I'm fine with waiting. Things that are rushed are rarely good.

Back up, gonna go ahead and cheat my way to the Britons and post when I unlock/start playing them, I did take a look at their units though and I must say this is going to be hard when it comes to sieges.

I noticed USEC, I think the romans will get to them first though.

I'm not talking about the Greek faction, but Greece, the piece of land jutting out into the Mediterranean. When we are going to conquer it, give me one of the generals that does so.

(I can also wait patiently for you to cheat your way to unlock factions.)

Oh, well in that case yes.

Sieges are all about catapults against anything that is not wooden.
Britons don't have catapults?  :o

I've never used Onagers before, but I might have to stoop, plus Britons can't build them until they have a minor city, that's a long wait.

Also, I don't like to use Onagers because they are HIGHRY DISHONORABRU

Perhaps. But storming epic walls with rams and ladders equals entire army wiped out by towers.
As a matter of fact, even stone ones can be a pain without them.

Onagers = no losses
Ram = Ohmygodstopdyingalready!

I know, I fully intend on setting up ambushes in my territory, and only sending a HUGE army to take settlements.

Actually, seeing as we'll be facing the Germans or Gauls first, we shouldn't meet many stone walls. And by the time they have stone walls, we should be able to make onagers, so it all balances out. (I hope.)
