The fate of the Rome prisoners are yet to be decided. Carthage starts the contruction of forts in Sicily.
@Skyicewolf , what do you think of uniting under the banner of old Phoenicia? Now you're both god-moding. Realistically, the unmanned, unprepared and unarmed warships will mostly have been sunk, then the Romans would probably have been captured after that, with casualties on both sides of the battle.
30 trade ships just showing up is just to obvious. The first boardeing party to investigate would have alerted the fleet.
*soon after the failed assault, Cameleus was soon missing from Rome, weeks later he has found dead in his country cottage in northern Italy*
Your ships were most likely unmanned. Even if sailors did rush to man them, the Romans would most likely be upon you before you could properly set out to sea, an a fire among a tightly-packed dock would quickly spread. Though at this point we should safely assume nothing happened until a mod comes and sorts everything out. Then it just goes to show it was a good idea.
Carthage accept this defeat send 1/2 of your boats back to Carthage and fuse with Sardinian fleet. Sradinia has I think 50 boats and you will have 60. It should crush the roman's 60.
@UtterlyImpeccable , Tyre has now left the war. To kickstart our trade economy, we are sending trading cogs to Dalmatia, to deposit various goods. As we have been closely working with Babylon, we have gained exotic trade goods from them, including ivory, spices, animal skins, silks and linens, from across Persia and even far-off lands such as India.
Well in my opinion lets look at the harbor of Carthage. The harbours were so arranged that ships had to pass through the one to reach the other. The outer harbour was meant for merchant ships, and its entrance from the sea was closed with iron chains. In the inner harbour were kept the ships of war. There was an island in it, and on this island, as well as round the sides of the harbour, were slips in which two hundred and twenty vessels could be placed. The island also contained the admiral's house. This was so high that he could get a view of all that was going on outside. Between the two harbours there was a wall so high that it was not possible to look from the outer into the inner. There was a separate entrance from the town to the outer harbour. The inner or military harbour was evidently guarded with the greatest care.
