Re: Secession vs Civil War
The war against the rebels was quite challenging and I enjoyed it. I needed to fight some of my best armies - with experienced units, army traditions and skilled generals - which was fun. At the Battle of Memphis, I needed to win against a veteran rebel army - and my army were raw recruits in their first fight.
The rebel faction made a serious attempt to destroy my half of Carthage. From chapter 33 of my Carthage AAR (this chapter is told from the perspective of the rebels):
Sanais sent three armies to destroy Admago’s remnant of Carthage. The first army, in Gaul, marched east, seizing Genua, Velathri and Ariminum on its way to Rome. The second army marched along the long road from Iol to Carthago. The third army was in Egypt. Admago’s Carthage depended on grain from the Nile valley, victory here could end the civil war quickly. Sanais had used his wealth wisely, giving estates in Iberia to the Mangonid family. This earned the loyalty of Saraca, heir of the Mangonids and commander of the Sacred Company in Egypt, one of Carthage’s finest armies.
