After playing as Rome and having a good time with them on hard I used them a bit more
3 units seems to be awesome
So to see what they can do I started a legendary campaign and teched to them asap, made a general 2 units of junk and 9 units or wardogs and went to war.
standard early carthage army - general on horses, 2 skirmishers, 2 swordsmen and 1 spears
reinforcements of a bunch of hoplites and slingers on boats
I didn't screenshot in time and cba to upload the pic from my phone but the end result was
Deployed 800 - loses 0 - kills 1464
imo they should slaughter skirmishers but hoplites... even early ones shouldn't die, they are armoured! as good as my splitting and timing them to hit as boats deployed - it was a joke. I think the AI can't target them as playing vs a friend they didn't seem crazy good
saying that I am tempted to beat the game on legendary NOW :)
