Hi Darth,
No, not too much loss till now, I will come back to you after the Weekend (could not play since I´m on a business trip).
Well, playing as Carthage I really had headstart into the early game, right? Everything went quite good so far, Hanno (aka The Fossil) lived 75 years long and won important (night)battles on Sicily aginst the Scipii and the Greeks. He also won a legion´s eagle which is now located at Agrigentum. I guess the future will be hard ´cause now, the first of my allies--Numidia--tries to backstab me. I´m relatively good prepared to protect my empire (wich is not too big by now) at all times from all sides, but expect pesent day allies to become future enemies (like in real history), or am I wrong? After reading a lot of the posts in this threat, I´m really exited for the time when one of my armies will meet an equally strong enemy army (wich I´m trying to avoid of course).
Bye
