Nice, different system

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

I like the way Hannibal is done. Its very different, clean and works great.
Now "we" want more of the same [:D] . This system should work nicely on different settings as well.
The ancients times are full of nice setups like the 2nd punic war.
Multiplayer wouldnt hurt [;)] either.

Agreed. It would be great if Hannibal was the start of a series of strategy games using the same system. Of course improvements are welcome.

I understand Hannibal is based on a particular boardgame. But hopefully that won't prevent the development of new games. This system works really well, and the AI is a killer.
