Rome Total War. Carthage. Episode 3. The 8th (yes, 8TH) Sicilian War. Very Hard.
With Rome all but in our hands we turn our attention to the home front. Rebels need bashing, Numidians need intimidating and we have a very large problem in Sicily. No, it's not the Greek army... it's something worse. Oh, and lots of Spaniards and Gauls die horribly. It's all a rich tapestry.

Spoilers!
The biggest threat to my army in this campaign hasn't been the other factions but various bands of brigands. Those hastati weren't kidding around (even if they did eventually become bullet chow). My main problem is finding a quick path of expansion as it is clear by now that I really didn't have a plan for what to do after blitzing Rome. Thankfully Syracuse turned out to be a breeze and the Gauls aren't likely to pose much of a threat. I do however need to start pushing east before the dreaded armoured hoplite spam begins in earnest. Spain is progressing nicely despite the technical setback in territory. With recruitment established and the Spanish field armies wiped out I should have some room to push out now.
