The sack of Carthage! (didn't quite go to plan!)

Plus, as I recall the EB team only balanced the game to be played on Medium battle difficulty, meaning all the AI bonuses on Hard and Very Hard makes the game go a little strange.

In my experience (a VH/VH victory by 130 BC) it just makes it hard, as the name suggests.

Does anyone know the bonuses the AI gets on Hard and Very hard battle difficulty?

think it goes +4 then +7 to attack and defense , or that could be morale ... info is posted on the forum somewhere

Sounds exactly just like my sack of Carthage but mine went as planned...until the next turn that is :p I was so desperate, it's the first time I destroyed "wonder" complexes including the legendary port. I regret it now cus Carthage is officially provincia Romana.

If the enemy phalanxes were fighting in the town square, they would never break.

I'm a bit of RTW noob, so I don't know much of new features and mechanics that are different from MTW and Shogun. Is that because the fact they're unable to rout or it's because they get bonus fighting there? I'm thinking the former but I thought I should ask.

The former.
