Features: In 264 BC, to compete for control of the Western Mediterranean, the Romans landed on Sicily under Carthaginian rule, and the Second Punic War thus began. Due to poor leadership by commanders, Carthage suffered successive defeats, and the Roman army approached the gates of Carthage. Hamilcar, a young Carthaginian general with high prestige in the army, accepted the mission in crisis and led the Carthaginian forces to defeat the Roman legion, maintaining an unbeaten record! Later, Hamilcar launched an expedition to Sicily to suppress the rebellion of mercenaries, then went to Spain to establish the new city of Carthage, becoming a famous general whose name struck fear into the enemy.
