    I usually raid Qarthadast and destroy all wonders and the barracks. Then quickly get back on the boat filled with soldiers and Carthaginian coins and sail back.

    Good idea. Two large armies are closing in on Alexandria and Memphis and it's time to leave! Evacuation shipping on the way.

    Time to liquidate both cities and everything inside, ratchet up the tax rate to the max and get the hell out of there to help out the threatened frontier in Asia!

    I'll be back!

    I prefer construction over destruction, tax over robbery, so I guess I'm a civilized guy in heart...
    Once played a Saka campaign in which I pushed to Indian ocean in 10 years and razed almost every city on my way. But no matter how many cities I razed and how many armies I destroyed, I got little satisfaction from it. I prefer to watch my cities growing.
    Oh, and another reason might be that I'm an infantry lover, always have a weakness for those closely packed orderly solid infantry battle line who marched slowly but firmly towards enemies.

    Ha ha ha, I assume you mean a British or French one?

    If an EB campaign could last more than 2k years all the way to WW1 era, of course I will adjust my tactics according to the calendar...

    I think exterminating money bonus are proportional to the population, no matter how backward the town is....

    BTW, if you want to got filthy rich, you could always type : add_population Roma 10000
    repeat for several tens of times just before you start to assault Roma, and you could get thousands minai easily...

    Where's the great difference to the add_money cheat?
    Only a real fanatic can burn down Roma several times and still find it funny. Usually I only get some sort of satisfaction when I destroy the cities of a strong enemy and in EB Rome doesn't belong to these...
