The team spent a lot of time on this issue, as should be apparent from a comparison with the v.74 map. After much discussion, we decided that the real objective was to eliminate the true Sand Wars, i.e the battles deep within the desert in the second and third tier provinces. We could have gone one step futher and physically separated Carthage from the Ptolemies, but decided that EB is about historical "might-have-beens", and we didn't want to remove the possibility of ANY war between them. Personally I'm not totally thrillled about the Rommel-esque coastal road battles, but it's a huge improvement over v.74 and we'll monitor your reports to see if anything additional is necessary.
