You sort of inspired me to try a second attempt at a REAL carthaginian campaign and I did, so far It's been a blast of fun, our empires are simliar, sept I dont own the province that is south of the westernmost african province and instead i own the one directly south of Lepki, The Ptolemies own the rest of the entire Mediterranean coast east of greeceAnd they Took Lepki from me once, which REALLY made their empire look impressive on the world map, but Hamalcar and his son retook it and repelled several large armies while being outnumbered, of course the Ptolemies cant stand up to our highly disciplined and well equipped troops, and Rome has taken Corsica from me, while i hang on to Sardinia, I decided to let them keep it for now, trying to reinact the punic wars. Rome seems to be having trouble in italy, Epirus still holds Taras, but the Romani keep beseiging it, eventually they will win, The Romani also have a full stack, extremely well balanced on the southern coast above the mercenary held town of Rhegum
If they manage to aquire Taras then i fear they will set their sights upon Rhegum and then, sicily. I'm already pressed as it is from the east by the semi-constant pressure of the Ptolemies, even with my alliance with the grey death It seems to not do much. I dont know if I'll survive much longer with my sicilian and eastern north africa holdings.
Anyway, the updates are looking nice. I look forward to the next one.
I think I've fallen in love with Carthage
