they will still go after africa but they seem to take a long time over it- much longer thean they used to before they got 'broken'. this might lead to their going into greece and then down through turkey as it gives carthage time to get big enough to repulse them, forcing them to go for an easier and more profitable option. (as carthage is too strong the next most profitable targets are in greece as the greeks and macedonians will be occupied with the brutii)
