Carthage AI

[Spartiate]

I have been obsessed with making Carthage a strong AI nation since first buying this game and i have made some progress but basically i still need to pay attention to it during all my campaigns and nurture them along so that i can fight them in the later stages.

Carthage now start the game with 150,000 in cash.
All of their family members now have Command,Influence and Management of at least 5 upwards at the start of the game.
All Carthaginian cities now have top tier ports,bazaars and walls from the beginning of the game.
They have more and better starting troops in Sicily.
They can train SacredBandInfantry from the second tier barracks building onwards with need of only a basic temple of Milquart(spelling) rather than the Awesome Temple of Baal.This has been done for trade bonus reasons.
They can now train archers.
I have increase their starting navies.


Despite this they appear to still lose Caralis early on but do not lose Lilybaeum or Corduba anymore in the early game.They also now seize Lepcis_Magna before the Numidians do.They just are not aggressive enough and never seem to do much in the way of expansion.They seem happy to sit on Sicily and watch a now intimidated Scipii army take Syracuse from the Greeks but then and for the next 100 turns they just stare across the border at each other except for the occassional Scipii foray.
