That's one crappy Hannibal my friend

Yeah, he has some bad traits, like "flaccid", but i couldnt help but notice that he is "natural born leader" . If you sent him in some wars and get more command stars, he can become a great general, considering his is still young.

That's one of my favorite things about Total War, you can role-play with the generals, so i'd do as florin87 said: send him to Spain with some elephants, and march all the way thought Iberia, Southern Gaul and rape the Julii until you get to Rome itself, and later deal with the other families. Roma delenda est!

[CHIPS]

Damn he is the real deal. Look at his stats Traits and Retinue at age 23. SEGA putted him in there as the real Hannibal. Almost correct time frame too.

[Latin Knight]

Double post.

You have no expansions as Carthage by 217 D:

This.

Interesting find, though.

[jukeness]

Is he using a money cheat or what, lol.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Edited descr_strat (different starting date?) much?

Could you toggle_fow?

[Zeraylph]

I wanted to explore more about Carthage.

I use a Disable A.I cheat. So I can just build my economy and take control of public order and build military buildings without being invaded.
I reenabled it once I had a stable economy, hence why I have not expanded or invaded anyone yet.
I've lots of headaches during my 1st campaign with Romans. But I unlocked many factions after beating the campaign.!

Thanks everyone for the advise. Imma sent him through spain! I might be able to take Rome since it's not in Marian reforms while i still can!

I also wanted to explore more about the temples so I can just knock it down if I don't like it's effects like Tanit for example with overpopulation

I didn't edit any of the descr files

All factions remain intact even though it's been almost 60 years o.o
Here how it looks with Toggle_fow. But theres lots of rebel lands in some areas.

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

I use a Disable A.I cheat.

Aha. Nice.
But doesn't that give you a bit of an edge over the other factions?

[Zeraylph]

Yeah, it does by a huge margin lol But this is just a playthrough where I learn about Carthage and it's troops and buildings, and public order.

Lol Spain is having a good time dealing with public order. And the Romans. Dang ... oh wow, take a look at Egypt. You can tell its people aren't doing so well.

The Seleucid's Empire still looks like a damn gun too.

LOL Spain, Romans, Seleucids have loyal people.

Egypt took the worst out of all the factions lol.

Yeah Egypt seemed to have the most rebellions. I guess they need some special extermination work to be done.

[Boustrophedon]

People are still playing vanilla RTW? damn I haven't even seen vanilla in years!

[Vindictus]

Vanilla is amazing !

[The_Blacksmith]

Mods are amazing !

Fixed'it

[tudor93]

Vanilla is amazing !

I was like you a few months ago
I was like "mods change to much bla bla" but once I tried XGM(this mod doesn't change so much, but still it is a vast improvement of vanilla): "damn ... vanilla sucks" ; and I'm not saying I don't play vanilla because it is not historical accurate or something, but it lacks unit diversity and it is unbalanced and has that stupid squalor problem (i'm sorry, but I refuse to exterminate almost every city at 15-20 turns, although I know it's a fix for this http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...hlight=squalor)

now, go and conquer Rome with Hannibal and a full stack of sacred bands and then install a mod
you'll thanks us
