Most successful Gallic revolt

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.

Most successful Gallic revolt

Post by Nepos96 »

Thought I would share this, the most successful Gallic revolt I have ever seen. All cities had full garrisons, plus Genua and Placentia are supposed to be hard to sway. Does Hannibal presence (on top of the army) further increase chances of revolt?

Guess now the route from Spain to Italy is open!

P.s. If not obvious, still enjoying the game to this day!

I don't think that Hannibal adds a specific bonus for his presence. The total Carthaginian strength is an important factor in determining the effects of the card. Same thing for Roman strength in field units. On top of all that, you seem to have gotten a very good roll. :D

I don't normally play this option on the first turn, even when I have it. This is another example of the players being smarter than I am!
