Spartan hoplites fighting for Carthage?

[Jebivjetar]

Well, Carthaginians attacked me and this is what happend: Spartan hoplites as Carthagian general! Is this a bug? As i can remember: in past ive read that Carthagians had some Greek generals when fighting Romans in First Punic war, so its maybe it?

[seienchin]

Exactly.
If you play as Carthago you get him too.

If you play as Carthago you get him too.

Provided you meet the requirements. Which I believe are simply to be at war with Rome at a certain time.

It's the personal bodyguard of Xanthippos, a mercenary spartan general who fought for carthage in the first punic war. He was the one who defeated the roman invasion of Africa

[Fluvius Camillus]

Ah, the coming of Xanthippos, the Greek mercenary general, who improved the Carthaginian strategy during the First Punic War.

Ha, it's 'ol Xanthippos I've teleported him once to Sikelia, but the bloke was killed by Romaioi legions in the end Was kind of hoping of the inverse effect, but anyway.
