[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 968382, member: 6533"] I don't really think Carthage is suffering from a dearth of resources. Northern Africa continued to be an incredibly wealthy and fertile area well into the high middle ages and Spain is filled with stuff. Not too mention they have better access to Britain and Gaul through the Atlantic. I actually think the Germans will be less of a threat. Without the Roman Empire around to teach them how to fight and make armaments they will probably continue to be the semi-nomadic light weights with decent light infantry and cavalry that Ceasar encountered when he went up through Gaul. In all likelihood they will simply be the western version of the Slavs. A delightful sometimes bloody people who simply pass the time till the next steppe nomad bad ass decides to play a game of smack the forest dweller. I did mention Gaul, but I agree with the previous poster that various Celtic tribes are going to get a lot out of this. They already had great relations with the Carthaginians and Greeks and are only going to become more powerful as a result of their constant conflict with a weaker Rome. I would bet that they trounce everything till the Goths come along. They may also find an amazing role for themselves as the slavers of Europe. The mediterranean civilizations need vast amounts of slaves, but their stale-mate against each other makes it difficult to acquire the outer provinces that provided them in real life. The Celts have great relationships with them, made fantastic slave coffers, loved raiding, and desired Roman goods. More bad news for the Germans. Great for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
