Carthage's start needs changed

[SheaD]

I find I have to change Carthage's start myself, its absolutely pathetic considering how decent the land around there is. Do you agree?

err, the land Carthage actually had was much better in real life, it was a breadbasket of the SPQR

Ah the famous Libyan horses:

Arcesilaus actually breed horses which were the native horses of Libya. The Libyan Horse is one of the few natural breeds of the world, which were descendant from the original wild horses of central Asia. Among the descendants of the original wild horses of central Asia are the Spanish horse and the Arabian horse. The Libyan horses are mentioned by the Greek historians Herodotus and Xenophon in their writings. Various cultures throughout history have breed and used the Libyan horse.

If it were possible to show climate change I would make the desert creep up instead of down and have wheat disappear from Libya after, say, 1000 AD.

I have changed Carthage start as well, and the problem I've had is the AI settles Cirta on the plains inbetween the two mountains quite often >_> Not a coastal plot, but they do it anyways. I also added cotton to Morocco since I think they are quite famous for that. Not sure when it should pop up historically though.

I really like the idea of a more dynamic earth though where the plots change at XXXX year, not just resources.

I always had the same thoughts about southern Spain. Cordoba was the biggest European city in the MA, and unlike its contestor Constantinople, would never be able to pull that of in RFC.

I'm already considering to add a "Gardens of Al-Andalus" wonder, which gives +1 on plains in the same continent. Or maybe only on plains farms, depending on its power.

Eh Hannibal is now pretty well doing (playing for the Inca here)

Leave Casablanca's elephants alone, they're too good for attacking France.

Iron is on the desert hill near where you want it if I'm not wrong. I don't see why changing it.
Wheat or Fish for Leptis/Tripolis though is very much needed.

Agreed - well I dont know anything about which resourse it should be, but that city should be worth building.
