Yes, but the war with the Romani is going to be tough for the Carthaginian player, no matter when the '1st Punic War' begins. The Romani's unit roster, while (arguably) lacking the punch of Qarthadastim elite forces, is overall much better IMO.

Don't take my statemenst to mean that you can never amass wealth in EB. It is indeed quite possible to become wealthy, it just isn't going to happen right away.
Most factions place you in a position where your forced to disband most of your troops or begin conquering straight away to avoid falling majorly in debt.
Once the economic hurdle is overcome, however, you can amass great wealth if you so choose.
Personally I think that money is better spent than just sitting there, but that's just me.
