Thanks

OK then as deciding factor regarding RTR & EB, do they both nerf heavy cavalry and toughen up infantry? The thing with STW was, the units really did follow rock/paper/scissors. Which probably isn't historically correct, but does make for a better game. In RTW on the other hand, heavy cavalry applied judiciously from two directions beats just about anything. Except chariots, which I think really do beat everything. I don't want Cavalry to be whipped by swordsmen, but I do want routing to be harder to achieve.

Anyway, Carthage is floating my boat for now. I took over Sicily, with some pain. I took the rebel town in western Lybia, and the romans are attacking me in Sardinia. The romans rule the sea, but given the Scipii are probably down to one region, I doubt I'll see many Decere's.
