OK well I read the 'romans are ridiculously overpowered' thread, so that answers that. Just to confirm, I had taken Africa West of Egypt, Spain, northern Europe, & Britain, I controlled 30+ regions, & was ranked in the top 3 along with Egypt & some other lot on the other side of the Romans. Was this a pretty foregone win?

I've started a new game as Carthage. Took the first Greek city, made peace with Greece, Spain, & Numidia, & am moving on the Rebel cities on the Spanish peninsula & south of Carthage. The Romans are attacking, and are about to have a bad case of elephants.

After Carthage I'll try BI, and then The Fourth Age. Which is better, Rome Total Realism or Europa Barborum.

Are elephants one-shot weapons, do they always rampage? If so, is it better to use them against infantry lead by one general, or two generals alone in a city? I think the two in a city.
