I'm into Turn 100 and here are some observations on the Carthage campaign.
1) Carthaginian Council seem to always declare peace after a few turns of not fighting (4 turns)...
Example,I declared war on rebel settlements by blockading their ports, went through the formalities of choosing War Leader. I then had to have all my generals descend upon Carthage to obtain the position of Rab Sheni, which could take a few turns. By the time i had a few Rab Sheni and started assembling my army which would take 4 to 5 turns and NOT COUNTING the time it takes to travel all the way to Iberia, the Council declared peace. Obviously something is not right here. The war mechanics doesn't seem aligned at all. What is going on?
2) And what is the rate of gaining Rab Sheni per turn? It seems to be taking a whole lot of time. I have 10 eligible candidates in my capital and it could take more than 10 turns for the last guy to get the appointment. I try my best to play the game properly by only having a confirmed general or Rab Sheni lead my armies to battle but the game does not seem to facilitate such an approach at all.
3) War declared against Rebels, while am getting 3 to 5 turns ready an army, I declared war on the Egyptians by invading Kyrene, two turns later, than Carthaginian Council declares peace due to inactivity.. What's going on?
4) Am fighting more and more factions at the same time but only one War Leader?? Can't we have more??
