The first glimpse of the campaign map of the upcoming Imperiums: Rome vs Carthage DLC cannot start anywhere else but on the coast of the venerable Carthaginian Empire. Take a walk with us through the Western Mediterranean.
Carthage is traditionally a trading empire with a vast merchant fleet and a war fleet that rules the waters of the Mediterranean. It competes with other powers, especially the Hellenes and Egyptians but its position in western Mediterranean is unshakable. However, managing such a large empire with many holdings far away from the centre is no easy task. To protect them and invest in their development requires foresight and good planning. There are many places where the empire’s wealth and armies could be focused. One such is the island of Sicily, a strategic nexus of the region, where many powers try to assert their influence.
In contrast to the busy days of the empire, life on the Iberian peninsula seems calm and uneventful. The tribes living in the interior have very little contact with the outside world, living in blissful oblivion of the struggles for power taking place around Mare Nostrum. Iberia however hides many mineral deposits, dense forests and arable lands, the native tribes should utilize the riches of the land for their own growth and development before the great powers set their eyes on the peninsula.
Somewhere between the less civilized tribes of Iberia and the highly cultured society of Carthage lies the small kingdom of Massilia. The city is surrounded by empty lands occupied only sparsely by Gauls and other Celtic tribes, this gives them a great opportunity to expand and exploit the lands to the north. Politically however, they will need a strong ally to defend their interest, perhaps the aspiring Roman Republic is the driving force that can take Massilia into the Golden Age.

It might seem that all the trumps are up the Carthaginian sleeve, but there are many undercurrents fed by ambition and greed in international politics, any of which can change the game in the blink of an eye.
