Taxes have been raised in all outlying provinces to the highest level which is not inconvenient. Taxes remain relatively low in Carthage as raising taxes there is a tactic for emergencies.

The fleet is now in only two divisions, a small fleet in Spain, and the majority of our ships in Carthage under admiral Thero.

Mago stands to address the Council.

"Dissension will serve us no good. It will be a number of years before we have amassed the forces to pursue a war with Rome, perhaps by then it will be a course we do not desire and we can direct ourselves elsewhere. Until that time, our focus should be to plan, and to defend our borders. We must also decide with whom we will share trade and with whom we will ally ourselves."

"I have personally sent messages to Bomilkar in Adrumeto and Gisgo in Ippone congratulating them on their recent additions to their families. My scribe is quite good at making my letters far more elegant than I can manage on my own."

The Council laughs.

Akbar stands,

"Tanibal Mago Sicilio, your words are wise indeed.. Although you may be a "bastard" you are clever. I have changed my mind and my Vote is to not go to war just yet. Let us, instead expand into Numidia. Make it our breadbasket. For the Numidians are weak and have no Allies. And it wont ruin relations with anyways if we do."
