As they died, I destroyed lvl 4 government and replaced it with lvl 2 or lvl 1. Those governors were ruining my income.

The only reason the Ptolies yet exist is that they cover some of my border with Carthage, so there's only one town that can be attacked by the Carthaginians. I plan the destruction of Pontus, attack on Palmyra, then I'll probably annex Saba as they are already at war with me, and then I'll take all of the Arabian peninsula. There will be no need to keep strong garrisons there as that regions have no border with anyone.
Umm granaries give growth and the large one hapiness and a trade penalty..

In my furthest large/huge cities I sometimes destroy them, cities like Kirtan and Ippone grow extremely fast, requiring me to put 20 units as garisson + a lot of squalor.
