Ha, I hate when the AI doesn't realize that they should end the war by ceding a few provinces, or else launch a huge invasion. Can it not see the illogic behind its current strategy? Anyways, you have the most weird shaped countries...ever 
Soon the Ilergetes found their excuse to invade the Ilercavones. As ambassador Rhetogenes Culchid (not to be confused with his namesake, the Ilercavoni leader) was there, Tautalus Punicid, an ambitious Ilercavoni noble, murdered Rhetogenes Culchid (the Ilercavoni leader, not the ambassador), blaming the ambassador for the deed and imprisoning him.
Scene: A courtroom somewhere in Ilercavoni territory
Judge: Rhetogenes Culchid, you have been brought before the court on the charge of the murder of Rhetogenes Culchid. How do you plea?
Rhetogenes Culchid: Not guilty, your honor?
Judge: And your defense?
Rhetogenes Culchid: Why, I'm standing right here!
*raucous laughter erupts from the onlookers*
Well, good. Hopefully, you can somehow knock the rest of Carthage off the bucket so you can take all of Hispania...![]()
Hope your navy is large enough to lure the Carthaginian forces to Sardrinia and Corsica in insufficient strength to defeat your forces. Pick off the small fleets.

You should start fast conquering before it is too late!
conquer, conquer and only after conquering question whom you are conquering, no time for dividing.![]()
Just started reading the AAR, but after reading this little section:
I had to go ahead and post this:
All in all, I'm enjoying what I've read so far. Keep up the good work!
EDIT: Just read it through. I'd advise taking down the Lusitani after dealing w/ Carthage; after that, taking the rest of Iberia should just be a mop-up. (Of course, I don't actually own EU: Rome, so I'm not sure how the mechanics work, but if they're anything like EU3, you should be able to deal w/ them now.)
Yeah yeah, nice victory!
Hopefuilly you can hadle the logistics of this new threat...![]()
That was surely an epic war and battle. I thought that once Carthage sent a 70k army, you were surely doomed, but you managed to pull it off. Congrats, nicely done.
21k and only one province. That battle probably wiped out 50% of their fighting malesPictones seemed to be their Pyrrhic victory, well, good on ya!![]()

You annex the remaining powers in Iberia and Gaul.
To avoid humiliating defeats.![]()

That's a proper sized Carthaginian fleet.
Another war with Carthage should clear them from Iberia. The Atrebates look like they're going to be a formidable foe.
Good luck, you shall overcome 'em all!
How can carthage support 100k in a province like that. And how can you support 120k overall? It surely must be a drain on your economy.
