You could always try to flood them

What is this "flood" of which you speak?

In response to your problem, perhaps park your stack at a bridge in Carthage's province? They should send at least one stack to counter you. Also, it seems that Carthage builds at least one stack of lousy troops. If it has in your case perhaps assualt that stack to get the ball rolling.

take them early on is the best solution, they only have 1 or 2 unit guarding in their cities early on, 2 stacks down south, 1 stack heads up north (tried to take the town w. the built-in mine, it helps alot). By the time you got most of the Iberia Penisualla(sp?), it's easy mode for Lustonian

If they are just spamming weak infantry like they did in my game it is pretty easy to beat them. I took my faction leader and faction heir and made them attack the enemy general together then they played hammer and anvil with the carthy infantry. Just line your infantry with the weakest in the front and your veterans in the back. I used Balearic Mercs to harass the Carthies into attacking my stacked infantry. Then they moved to the flanks and peppered the enemy. I won 3 or 4 battles this way and I was outnumber by a ratio of between 1:2 and 1:4 in all the battles.

i second the idea of a landbridge at Gibraltor, i would love to have that for the lusotannas is my campaign as they have had 3 full stacks sitting one or two steps from the southern coast. These stacks sat there for at least 20 years doing nothing, i probably would house rule myself not into using it but for the dumb computers sake i would love to know the code to add it? any help?

This idea is thirded, fourtheded, fiftheded, and sixeded.
So, would one ambitious and zealous modder, please take fifteen-minutes of his/her sparetime and 'make with the landbridges'.

Went the water away again, or was your campaign broken afterwards? Did all soldiers die in the area?

lol its just a graphical error, its happened to me before, nothing too bad happens after you punch the NEXT TURN button, and everything resets and is back to normal, the "flood" Isnt really a flood in other words
