In my Romani campaign I try to out-bribe the Carthaginians. They purchased Tolosa from me against my will, so I strolled over there with a diplomat. About 5 years later Hannibal was leading my brand new Polybian army over to take Iberia off their hands. It was a good feeling, that irony.

And Qarthadast usually eats, drinks, craps, sleeps on and bathes in gold, particularly with the script. Fortunately I never lost too much that was worthwhile to their endless pockets.
