The Republic of Carthage:
Gold: (Gonna carry it on from the 2 pages, and assume I have 7 provinces if I include the islands I have colonies on, like sicily)
50 + 35 (from provinces, Apparently carthages bonus is more gold from provinces) + 9 (from resources), also plus the 2 pages makes for 2 more lots of 44, which is 173 Gold overall. (Hope I got this right, not good at maths :C)
Hamilcar, recently elected into the head of the Carthaginian Republic, immediately got to business. The first matter was to expand Carthages borders. They were mostly small, and her colonies were mostly only trade focused.
A new port is to be built in Carthage, Along with a shipyard to extend its naval power. (-65 Gold), and A band of war elephants is taken into the army (-16 gold).
10 units of Poeni Infantry and Baelaric Slingers are recruited into the army, costing 50 bags of gold. 2 units of Heavy cavalry are recruited also. (-24 gold)
Scouts are sent out into North africa, out of Carthages lands, and settlers are sent into the Coast of Spain and Corsica, And also east of their lands in Sicily to extend their domain further.
The carthaginians are left with 18 bags of gold, to be saved for future use.
The Carthaginians agree to trade with rome, as it would help bolster both countries economies, and perhaps a military alliance would be good for later.
(Sorry, had to write this up quickly on my phone, expect better posts this weekend, hopefully :P)
