I took a look at the save. War should go smoothly. I think raze the little city they're next to now, then move on Hadrumedum. Then it's either south from there, or pick up Leptis in the northwest and consolidate, probably depending on how the army feels (if it's still strong, keep moving south and build a second wave to take Leptis). Keep in mind that whatever Alex sends will probably come up the east coast, so don't be too skimpy on the defence there. A Horse-hunting expedition doesn't look worth it to me. If we tear through Hannibal's heartland, he won't have the production to put up a fight.
I think the Greek cities should whip away their unhappys. Courthouses in those cities that don't yet have them, and cavalry in those that do. That'll allow the culture slider to be dropped in favor of money. Berlin and Cologne could each support a quick whip as well -- the last tiles they're working are pretty marginal. The faster we hit him, the less fight he'll put up. Biggest worry is that he'll beg protection from Nappy. That's a fight we'll eventually have to face, but I'd rather cannabalize Hannibal first and take out Alex for good.
lasombra, welcome back. Do you want to jump ahead of me in the roster? There might not be much left of him if futurehermit and I both take shots....

Sorry about that.
