Carthage having caralis is GREAT for defensive players. Rome will keep sending wave after wave to take over caralis. you'll get to enjoy defensive battles over and over again as long as you keep Rome alive. its quite the challenge run keeping rome alive as carthage, but definitely doable. this aligns nicely with the second route you laid forth. this is also good if you want to get better at siege battles whilst on the defensive side. theodokoles is my chosen commander to take up the helm defending the island city.

Carthage Sacred band are almost as good as Spartan hoplites but you can get them very quickly. You already have a large temple to baal in Carthage to build, which is 3 turns, then however long to grow to large city, then the awesome temple that is 6 turns. Thats ~10 -11 turns to get an elite unit when the best unit the Romans have is hastati.

I played carthage on vh vh difficulty and i would say u need atleast 1 unit of elephants in your army just to break morale of the enemy. They don't necessarily need to do much damage but ur infantry just has relative low morale so they will break in long engagements against the roman legions so a good flank with the elephants usually is good enough to route the entire roman lines. They are also very good to fight of roman calvery which as carthage u should be able to go to toe to toe with the roman cavalry but if u have elephants u will absolutely desimate them This means your flanks will always be secure and u wont have to worry about losing a calvery fight to much Ur elephants should preferably be kept in reserve and used as the ultimate moral breaker for flanks On top of that you can siege towns that only have the wooden fortifications the moment u start the siege.

Great video but the Rome AI is so aggressive if you’re on Romes scope you have to fight and destroy them as priority number one. Gaul and Greece are basically forced to conquer Rome from turn 1. Once you have the Italian peninsula there’s no challenge until the Pontic Empire that always seems to form when I play.
