To make matters worse, Roman ambassadors, inspecting your plight, return to Rome with news that Spain is unstable. In the weeks and month that follow you persist in finally sacking Saguntum. As you pillage the city, your scouts report of Roman legions arriving by sea while unruly Spanish tribes, The Olcaades, Carpetani, Hermandica, and Arbocala, are swelling to the North. Caught between two formidable enemies, you prepare the city for defense. Yet with the city ruined and your troops exhausted from a lengthy siege, you can scarcely defend the city for more than a week before your army falls to the Romans and the Iberians. You fight to the death, joining your father in the afterlife. War tithes from your father’s war with Rome are increased as punishment to all the Carthaginian empire for your folly.
