This is a WIP of a TL loosely based off of my Total War Rome 2 Game.
I played as Carthage. The POD is 259 BC while Carthage is at war With Rome, Syracuse, and the Celtici in Iberia. Note that everything i say focuses on the territotial evolution of Carthage. That year the Syracusans of Sicily manage a crushing military victory kicking Carthage off the Island.
By 226 BC Carthage is busy trying to keep their Economy strong without using conquest because the Military continues to recuperate.
Also by 226 BC the insignificant Iberian Tribe called the Celtici are defeated by the Carhaginian Ally of Nova Carthago whom the Carthaginians call Carthagians.
By 212 BC Rome Has been busy dealing with Etruscans, Venetti and other Celts with Large Difficulty but still manage to spare enough troops to kick Carthage out Sardinia. Shortly After Roman Sardinia is Conquered by the Etruscans. The Loss to Rome began the "Dark Days of Carthage". The "Dark Days" last from 212-140 BC.
From 207-199 BC Carthage is Busy defending the Last Libyan City from the Barbarian Nasamones, Masaeyli, and Garamantians. By 203 By The Carthagians mange to Conquer the Masaeyli giving Libya enough room to manuever with their Growing mercenary Armies. The Defense of libya Was Successful and Libya began to grow. At 196 BC a small but notable Carthaginian gain is made in a Libyan Province. 6 years later Carthage manages to bring war back to Syracuse. Within 1-1/2 Years Sicily is Defeated but Officials make a horrendous mistakke by Subjugating instead of Conquering the Syracusans. Within 4 years Syracuse Successfully kicks Carthage back out of Sicily. The same year as a result of defeat by Syracusans Slaves manage to successfully revolt and take control of the Balaeric Islands. By 165 BC Slaves again manage a succssful revolt kicking Carthaginian Influence out Of Iberia. But under a good leader Carthage finally manages to conquer Sicily and the Syracusans. By 159 BC the Nasamones and Garamantians are no longr on the Defensive against Libya and Libya is defeated by them. In 152 BC Romans arrive to free Sicily but are recalled to deal with Northern threats. Under one of Hannibal's relatives and with perfectly sound strategy Carthage move north into Italy picking off Roman Troops, abnd then City by City until Rome itself was Conquered.
All of Roman Territory is annexed but continued advances are halted to deal with the problems quick overextension brought. The Dark Days officially end 12 years later.
By 118 BC the problems caused by quick overextension are quelled but Velathri is lost when the Etruscans of Corsica and Sardinia take it from revolting Carthaginian Slaves. The same year war with Delmatae begins.
By 92 BC Delmatae is conquered as is all of Southern Gaul, as the Gauls had some to do with our expulsion from Iberia. By 78 BC more of Gaul falls and the Nasamones and Garamantians are retreating from the superior Carthaginian forces. By 59 BC all of Gaul is conquered.
9 years later Carthagininan presence in iberia is made clear as 2 thirds of Iberia are now under Carthaginian control. That same year Alexandria is annexed from Egypt to Carthage and the Nasamones and Garamantians are conquered. By 43 BC all of Iberia is under Carthaginian Occupation.
3 years later the remains of Nova Carthago are assimilated into the nation.
In 36 BC a celtic rebellion occurs and is crushed.
A 7 month Civil war in 32 BC turned the Empire into a true Republic.
By 27 BC all of Egypt is Conquered.
6 years later Athens is captured and the War with Sparta nears an end.
By 15 BC Sparta is conquered.
This map takes place in 14 BC when Carthage is at war with Galatia.
Feedback would be appreciated. Help with the map would be great!
Their are 4 other major Powers. That Red, North of the Caspian sea is Parthia.
The Green below it is the Medes.
Then their is the Persian Horde Occupying Arabia.
Then their is the Celtic Boli who have been pushed north by Carthaginian advances but have successfully created an empire while also pushing most Germans eastward.
