we are now 15 turns from monarchy, we have 14 legions now, so we could attack egypt whenever we are ready, carthage
has developed his land more than egypt has so they may be a bit tougher. Nothing we as a team cant handle though.
the land north of carthage looks good though but by the time egypt falls carthage may have it. Not a problem though
as they will probably the next ones put to the sword.
