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.
I'm playing as macedon, and Carthaginians are (more or less) invading italy. That's cool.

It is 258bc I have taken Carthage (defended by 4 units). To my shock i discovered that all the neighboring cities have MIC 5 and are churning out elites like mad. Carthage owns the battlefield, only through sheer numbers I can stay on the continent. I am producing my principes and hastati as quick as I can (I use only the infantry) but they are going to grind me down cos they are allied to all my neighbours. Oh yes and they own Egypt all the way to jerusalem.
In RTW when I was playing as the Greek Cities the Brutii landed two full stack armies in Athens. Note that I had driven them away from the Balkans.
OK so I restarted my Aedui campain on H/H and now I took all of Gaulia, Germania, Italy, and Sicilly. So I decided to take on Carthege just for the Hell it. I wanted to see a Clash between Celts and Carthagininas.
BUT as the other guy said Carthege has MIC5 and putting out TOP NOTCH units. And man, those fine, upstanding combatants - Moderator - are hard to kill.
I think the HOT desert is affecting the strengh of my Celts. Does that happen????
