In fact I didn't speak of a lot of different provinces, but only _two_ in the northern side of the map (one is Sápmi, the other Dahyu Thissikata). ;)
In my games Tuat was always conquered by the Carthaginians after some turns, and they also sent a lot of forces in order to garrison (or defend from my armies) it. And even after crushing the whole Carthaginian dominions on Northern Africa and Spain, if a family member is still alive, they can continue to develop a Fabulous Kingdom of the Desert with a strange large city that trains the last hopeless defenders and attempts to invade nearby provinces... ok for the Garamantines, but I think that it would be better to merge Gaetulia with Eremos.
