Carthage is doing something, sweet.

Yes it is true, for the first time ever Carthage is doing something on mainland Europe. I haven't been interfering at all, as I'm playing as Baktria to up my skills before having another go as my boys the Getai, and Carthage rolled over the Iberian tribes and took all of Iberia. Now they have pushed into western gaul along the coast, and are fighting the two gaulish nations. The germans are coming from the north and have gotten to the alps and are fighting the Romans, who are fighting pretty much everyone but Carthage who they allied with. Pretty cool stuff, I wish i was closer to the action.

Anyone else have their own unique campaign happenings? I was pretty surprised when my spy got over to Italy and saw Carthage's armies in Gaul.

Oh man that sounds awesome.

In my campain as the Aedui Carthage, Iberia, and Sweboz ain't doing S

!!!
So the Romans got tired of me paying them $300 tributes and decided to go to war with me. Now I have the 1-full stack army I can afford to maintian/retrain keeping the Romans off while sacking thier nearby towns. And I've allied with Iberia, Carthege, Sweboz, and Dacia.

WHEN IS THE 1st PUNIC WAR GOING TO START!!!!!!!!!! (its already 250+ BC)

Same as my campaign Neo!

The Iberians are the richest single faction, but they just seem to be staying in the same place, not doing much at all.

Seconded, I'd love a screenshot of this. Carthage is pretty quiet in my games.

Well, I'll try and get a screeny up eventually, I have examens all week so I don't have any time to spare playing EB. So instead I exiled myself from my Rome TW disk so I wouldn't waste time playing, so I can't start up my campaign right now. There isn't really that much cool that a picture would show, just a big white Iberia.

I cant honestly think of a time when the AI did anything extraordinary like carthage expanding on the mainland... I did have the Epeirotes launch a sea invasions on my Romans once which caught me by surprise but thats about it

The AI seems to be very passive unless you attack them first, then the 30k a turn they get can really get to you after awhile.
