Carthage is doing something, sweet.

I played an Iberia campain recently, and I was at war pretty soon with Karth-Hadast. I stopped a few of their incursions, and then Rome asked me to be an ally. I needed the money and bargained for more and finally accepted once the price was right. Next turn, Rome takes a city adjacent to me that I was marching on. That made me mad, so I attacked the city after the 4 unit Roman army was inside and took it for myself. Rome had been at war with both gaullic factions and carthage up to this point. Within two turns Rome secured alliances with Aedui, Avernii, and Carthage. Now I had to fight everyone. I thought that this was a unique diplomatic situation. Any thoughts?

It will happen in VH or H campain difficulty, so its best that you have secure alliances and destroy the factions you are at war with quickly. Oh and anohter thing, ROME is a DANGEROUS ALLIE.

As long as they are far they are GOOD. But the second they are next to your borders, you must prepare yourself for a Future Conflict. However, you can your time by sending $ to Romes enemies, and Not Starting Problems with them.

hahaha! thats not impressive imo. in vanila RTW (Tiberius you already heard this) Carthage (medium campaign diff.) took over all of iberia and africa. and is at war with egypt. in iberia the carthaginian armies had elephants in each army (amoured or war) and had poeni and sacred band inf. did i mention everytime you kill an army another shows up? (its like ten stacks then they grow ans grow)

That's why I attacked them right after the alliance. I took the money first and the roman city on the next turn. I don't trust them a bit. I did not mind the offer and the cash though.

Hmm, Carthage has done a little special something in my campaign too: there are Carthaginian armies in Cilicia.



Anyone know how? There's no nearby Carthaginian fleet, and I doubt they could sail from North-west Africa to Cilicia without getting sunk by the pirate fleet. They could hardly walk from NW Africa through enemy territory as well.

Is there a Carthaginian town there? Maybe it rebelled to Carthage? OR something.

[Fondor_Yards]

In my pontus campain, I saw Carthage own Side. I guess they must have bribed it, since they had a diplomat there. The next turn it either rebelled back to the Ptolemaics or they rebribed it. A few turns later, carthage bribed it again, and the ptolemaics rebribed it again.

I've got something kinda cool and totally inacurrate in my game.
the Iberians have expelled Carthage from their peninsula, have cut through the southern gaul cities and are now starting to send full stacks across the alps into heavy Roman territory. This is good for me as the romans were getting a little to close to me.
I'm Casse and I'm invading the main land through scandinavia and having a seriously bloody war with the sweboz.
