Brennus has cheap swords (copper only) and UB walls. You'll want to get construction for catapults and probably axemen to go take a bite off him. The trick is to overprepare. If you attack with 20 units, you'll have an easy time chewing him off whereas if you go with 8, of course you'll get his first city, but then you're stalled. Remember to break off cultural defenses by using catapult bombardment - it makes a hell of a difference. Mix units, mix promotions, and enjoy.

Game is very late and research is WAY behind. Brennus has been nerfed research wise since you have nerfed yourself, but the rest of the world should be much more advanced. Less focus on useless wonders and more focus on your empire or taking out Brennus.

Brennus has longbows so you will need lots of cats or spies. Trade for CoL and Feud and then tech CS and Machinery to get Mace, if you want to fight in the short term. However, this game may have serious issues due to how late it is and how far behind you are in the normal scheme of things. Swords/cats will be more of a slog against LBs. Mace/cats will take time too but will be better.

The mistakes you are making present themselves far earlier in your game, so I would post earlier saves for advice.

That is what I'm doing. I'm playing as Egypt so I have UU War chariot. I have army of some swordsmans with 25% city attack bonus some catapults, axemans and war chariot, and sometimes I take his city and he attacks mine city, but sometimes he attack this army near his city, what ever I do I start losing war and that annoys me. I don't like war at all, it is to difficult for me.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

That quote is very apt here. Rather then asking someone to wipe Brennus off the map for you, you'd be much better served learning how to effectively war yourself so when the need arises in future games you'll be prepared to do it yourself. You may even learn to enjoy fighting wars in Civ once you understand how to do so effectively.

An excellent source for learning how to war effectively can be found in the war academy. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/military_strategy_tactics

Thanks Paw, but how do you open .pdf file, because my computer opens it by using adobe photoshop and it don't works (I don't have MS word).

I haven't attacked Brennus yet, but I did use your older save to build up your empire and give you a pretty decent army. Do with it what you will.

You can use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open a pdf file. Mistakes? I am no expert, but I replaced your farms on the flood plains with cottages, chopped out the mids, built roads to connect your cities, REX'd a bit, and built an army up. With parthenon, plus GL in Thebes, settled a lot of GS, you can pretty much war and expand without a huge research penalty.
