Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I was going to ask how you have Iberia and still have no money, but then I noticed that you have southern Greece. That place is a money pit until you get rid of Eperios, Makedonia and KH. Constant war, I bet.

actually even with my wars in Greece I am Making pretty decent money, not fantastic but decent. The picture was taken at the end of the turn after I spent most of the money. Rome sent two full stacks to Sicily, one besieged Syracuse (who had few defenders) and Messana who's garrison was devastated the turn before in a battle with another roman army, I won, barely. I didn't have time to train a proper relief army so I did what any good Carthaginian would do. I threw money at the problem. I took the one free family member on the island and hired a half stack full of mercenaries to relieve the cities. The mercs saved the day but almost every last one of them died in the process. Oh well, a dead mercenary is one that doesn't need to be paid.

Actually I wanted to post before and after pictures of the war that started between Carthage and Pahlava in my Luso-Campaign. But unfortunately my campaign got lost to a bug/CTD/whatever and so you only get the picture of the AI expansion, just showing the situation as it was when the Carthaginian-Pahlavan war startet.

Meanwhile I've started a KH campaign, in which Carthage is doing great too. They've conquered Italy and even great parts of gaule. Have you ever seen Carthage fighting a war against the Sweboz?
