Ty I'll have to try these ideas. I was wondering about elephants, that feels possible. I felt that my archers did very little damage even with the 3 attack upgrades. Maybe I needed to focus fire better? There were so many Hoplites. I didn't try mercs at all. Gotta remember that too. Hit and run tactics? I think with Carthage, all I have is javelin cav, but maybe that is good enough?

What's the common consensus here? Kill them early? Are there other answers than this? I just got back into this game and was cruising along till a friend found the Spartan Hoplites. I was Carthage, and nothing I had could put a dent in those guys. I'm pretty sure they slaughtered 700 pop worth of units and only lost 50. That just how it be?
