I just killed Hannibal, in what was probably one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen the computer make.
Basically, Hannibal had my two cities to the north of Rome, I happened to have Genoa just to the north of those two and it was guarded by like 2 units (I'd taken a much larger army there beforehand to seize it but they had since moved on to protect Rome). So Hannibal, in his arrogance (or stupidity like I said), took his single unit to take it back. Ok, so he did take it back (it was only being defended by some peltasts and a very small damaged infantry unit, compared to Hannibals bodyguard unit). But the thing is, he'd left himself there, on his own, completely open to attack.
So I take my army from near Rome, send all the cavalry units and take Hannibal out in one of the easiest battles I've had to play.
I don't think the computer is doing a good job at simulating his tactical genius....
