Yeah, I know the greeks are a bunch of bastards, but I'm hoping they'll keep their fleets away from Sicilian soil for the time being. I also realize that navy is imperative for the carthaginians, I'll get on to it as soon as I'm comfortable with the horse numbers. Fortunately, the Scipii are down to one town and the entire Brutii army is sleeping with the fishes heheheh. I'm likely to return their polite gesture and make a visit to Croton before they decide to honor my guys again with their presence.

Corduba is pumping out horses and I'll probably make a move against Carthago Nova as soon as I have a decent number. Round shields are bad, but even bad cavalry has a really good use: make a nice phat snowball out of them and start rolling it down from the enemy flank, along their line. Not even romans can take that, so those spaniard peasants can only be swept by the tide.
