Managment of Carthage

[Hasturbal]

Hi all, im new here and I was wondering....

What do you all think the best way to manage Carthage, (im useing RTR). I always seem to run into alot of financial troubles, as well as constant rebels for no apparent reason. Im a big fan of a historicaly accurate Carthage, and dont really want to conquer Numidia, but just make them protectraits, mainly cause I just dont like how it shapes out. Anyway, whats some advice? I would appreciate it, thanks!

The sooner you can get Spain, the better. I don't know about RTR, but in Vanilla, I wait until the Julii and Iberians break their back on the bridges outside Corduba (3 or 4 full stack armies defeated combined), then strike out towards the mountains seperating Spain from the rest of Europe (what that province/pass is called I don't know). Then consolidate Spain, and then you are in a good spot to do what you want (I'd recommend attacking Sicily and then Italy).

well you could just kill the numidians and make their towns rebel again =P, then you could take sidon, and the african coast if you'd like a good chartaginian shape
