Carthage (Hannibal at the Gates) Diplomacy Tier 1

Contact Network

The Carthaginians had been working to undermine Roman authority and establish a network of friendly contacts even before the outbreak of war with Rome. As the Republic learned about Hannibal crossing the Iber River, they also heard that a Gallic uprising was taking place in northern Italy. Long before, the Carthaginians had sent diplomats to broker an alliance with the unhappy Gauls, using mutual hatred of Rome as their bargaining chip. The chaos sowed by this uprising forced Rome to divert its attention to the northern tribes, allowing Hannibal to steal the march on Rome - all the way through Iberia, into Gaul and to the banks of the Rhone - entirely unmolested by Roman forces.
