OK, i suppose you want help in exterminating them?

1)tell the forum the location
2)possibly the unit types
3)the extent of your resources from number of cities to economy

I'm sure we'll all be happty to share our wisdom.

well they have elephonts lots of archers slingers and im dirt poor i have 2 citys under seige let by hannible segesta is under seige by the gauls but some good news i have carthage under seige in italy i got 5 units of town watch and thats it.

OK, from that I suggest you disband unwanted units like a few of those town watch, and recruit velites.
OK, you have segesta undersiege by the Gauls, what are the forces like/ your garrison?

Arretium/Ariminum under siege by Hannibal?

Is this some kind of a mod?

Where are you sieging carthage in Italy?

Wait, this is a mod isn't it. a united Rome? In this case forget about sieging Carthage, try to relieve a sige then you can use the fdreed up forces to relieve the other town. Forget about segesta. yeah you need vlites for ellies, lots of cav (4/5 units) will work wonders. Just try to wear them down and remember, once you have dealt with the two stacks plus beaten the Gauls back past the river, it will die down.

carthage under seige in italy

I think he means Tarsus or whatever Tarentum used to be. I'm playing SPQR-TW at minute, settlement names tend to change but the general strategy remains

Ah that's probably it, but surely even more reason to get those men back to help break the sieges of his own cities?
