And moreover, I am of the opinion that Carthage should be utterly destroyed.

[Revshawn]

There is a viscous tumor infecting the heart of Africa. Despite repeated attempts to cleanse it, Carthage as a Republic still burns in the heart of the Mediterranean. And it burns brightly and proud, taking control of all the trade of the general area and growing rich off the fat of it, despite all of the land they have lost from past campaigns and the threat of the tremendous Empire that surrounds them on all sides.

A tumor is only fatal if it is allowed to grow and fester. Like an infected wound, despite its lack of size it can very well prove to be a threat down the road if we allow them to continue to grow uninhibited. And therefore, from this forum, I will now declare total war against Carthage and end every single one of my posts, no matter the context, with the phrase: "Moreover, I am of the opinion that Carthage ought to be destroyed"

Join me my brothers. Carthage cannot be allowed to become a problem to us in the future. Only by banding together can we be rid of them. Should we stay our sword now, everything we know and love are at risk of being lost. Let us wipe them off the face of the planet and attain a more secure, beautiful, and Roman future.

That is all.

A tumor is spreading over the Mediterranean - the tumor of Carthage. All the powers of old Rome have entered into a holy alliance to remove this tumor: Patricians and Equites, Cato and Scipio, Optimates and Populares.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Carthaginian by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of being Carthaginian, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Interestingly the name of a HOI4 mod I recently found. Haven't played it yet but sounds nice.

Carthage stands as a bastion of free trade, democracy and entrepreneurship for all people in the Mediterranean.
The mad imperialists and rabid militarists in Rome must not be allowed to disturb the progress and prosperity brought forth by the Greater Carthaginian Co-Prosperity Sphere! The expansionist ambitions of this puny Italian city state must be put in check before they can plunge the whole Mediterranean in chaos! For this reason Pax Punica must prevail!

 

[Fishman786]

Reject the wicked imperialist-capitalist forces of Rome and Carthage, harbingers of tyranny and hegemony both, and instead stand proud and firm alongside the indigenous peoples of Corsica, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, Malta and Sicily! Stand for justice for those whose land has been stolen! Stand for justice for those whose cultures have been colonised! Stand for justice for those whose labour has been appropriated!

[DystopianAlphaOmega]

As the friendly neighbourhood ambassador for the Diadochi Kingdoms, I find the rivalry between Carthage and Rome most pleasing. Threats, boasting, political hyperbole and trash talking are all highly encouraged. Please continue fighting each other. Do not pay attention to the mighty kingdoms being built in the east. Kindly continue your petty republican squabbles.

Soon the Empire of Alexander will be reforged and your previously scheduled invasions of India, Arabia, and Carthage will recommence.

Carthaginem et Romam pariter dissipatus est. (Can't expect a Macedonian to know good Latin)

They're just scared because they know that Carthage is a real threat to Rome

What's a Rome? Sounds like a roving gang.

What's a Carthage? Sounds like something wrong with my cart.

Said every Briton ever.

 

[IanReSc]

As soon as I get my hands on that game I shall not rest until the abomination that is Rome is destroyed! I shall burn their holdings to ashes, sell their women and children into slavery and have the men sodomized with rusty fishing knives and then trampled by elephants!

 

[Marinakis]

As someone who will always play Makedonia or Seleukeia, I will turn Carthage into a staunch ally of mine and ensure Rome and Carthage duke it out for generations in pyrrhic wars. I will always support a strong Syracusian buffer state/island between the two.

Does that make me a bad person?

Been a while since I studied classics, was that Cato the Elder's speech everytime the senate was in session? 'Furthermore, DESTROY CARTHAGE'.

Yes, it is attributed to Cato the Elder.

Carthaginem et Romam pariter dissipatus est.

Quand l’empire romain tomba désespéré,
— Car, ô Rome, l’abîme où Carthage a sombré
mmmmAttendait que tu la suivisses ! —
Quand, n’ayant rien en lui de grand qu’il n’eût brisé,
Ce monde agonisa, triste, ayant épuisé
mmmmTous les césars et tous les vices ;

HUGO, Les Contemplations, III, vii, v. 1-6.

This one goes without saying.
