Nation bonuses:
Rulers of the Mediterranean: Due to their expert ships and sailors, Carthage was able to control the Mediterranean. Over generations, Carthage was able to perfect their ships and training so that none could match them. All Carthaginian ships move faster and excel in combat.
Reliance on Mercenaries: Because Carthaginian armies relied heavily on mercenaries, mercenaries that fight for Carthage shall do so for free and will fight as well as normal soldiers. They will not suffer morale, loyalty or discipline drops.

Population Happiness: 70% - Your people rejoice at the independance from Carthaginian tyranny. However, the threat of being reconquered is very, very real...

Army Morale: 70% - The army are grimly preparing for the part they will play in the fate of Africa. They remain confident, however.
Overall Loyalty: 100% - Your fellow nobles are happy with their choice of leader. In fact, without you in their rebellion, it likely would have failed. They will back you fiercely until the end of either the Carthaginian nation... Or your own...

Unique Unit:
Numidian Cavalry: Numidian Cavalry are expert light cavalry which excel at moving quickly. They shed armour, saddles, bridles and large shields for speed, instead using small shields, javelins, spears and carrying short swords.

"They shed armour, saddles, bridles"

did you know that the saddle was an innovation and let horsemen travel long distances without getting tired and sore while also letting them have more mobility, and let them be stable to be able to accurately use wepons, without it horsemen pretty much sucked...just putting it out there

Numidians didn't use them, though, and still were some of the best cavalry of the ancient world.

Most cavalry of the ancient world didn't use saddles. I know for a fact Carthaginians and Numidians wouldn't have.

they cant shed it if they didnt have it in the first place, XD
