Carthago and Rome
Ok now playing with Carthago....and after being attacked by the romans I take a good army across the sea and take Roma...after a few turns and after a few new buildings i find myself with a half depleted army and no way i can train or retrain units except some skirmishers...which dont fare too well against the loads of triarii they keep throwing at me.
Anyone knows whats wrong here?...why cant i train carthaginian units in Roma...or any kind of units except skirmishers?

Because there aren't any Libyans for you to train there. In EB units can only be trained in certain provinces.

Tip:
Go out and hire as many Samnites and merc phalangites as you can. I conquered most of Italy with mercs.

Tip: Build units you need in Africa and ship them to the front lines to replenish your losses. As it was said in the meantime fill gaps in your army with mercenaries and local ally troops.
This is what Alexander was doing so i guess its a good idea.

Re: Carthago and Rome
yea I noticed that with Carthage too... for being a major trading nation in antiquity you really cany afford all those mercenaries they require to be a military force for quite a few years
