Once again dear Hannibal you show your ignorance, we indeed are rich, but why are we rich, hmm? Trade with Gauls? Iberians? Numidians? No, Romans. We are rich due to the ships criss-crossing the sea between Carthage and Rome. So what you propose would need an increase in our military while we send our economy down the toilet. I am no military expert but I understand trade, attacking Rome due to a bit of espionage is ludicrous. We will end up at war with everyone on earth if we follow your ways, what will happen if I send one of my slaves into your home to check out your situation? Will you declare war on me?

Hanno sits, realising the argument is lost but wanting to make some of his fellows see sense.
