Carthago Delenda Est (150 BC)
NOTE: This is a kind of "beta" version of the mod, since more flavor is planned to be added.
Carthago Delenda Est is a 150 BC Start Date for Imperator Rome. During this time, Rome has emerged as the dominant power of the Mediterranean, while Carthage struggles to survive. The Seleukids are in a civil war, while a pretender to the Antigonid throne rises up in Pella in Roman-controlled Macedonia. In Hispania, the Lusitanian hero Viriathus shall rise up in defiance of Roman treachery.
MISSION TREES:
- Rome (Conquest of Carthage)
- Pella/Macedonia (Pella turns into Antigonid Macedonia)
- Indo-Greek Kingdom
- Laconia (independence tree for cities formerly under Sparta)
- Carthage (NEW) – (conquering Africa missions)
- Pontus (NEW) – (Black Sea missions)
Historically, within a decade after 150 BC, Carthage would be destroyed, the last traces of the Antigonids of Macedonia would be wiped out, Parthia would become a major empire, and both the Ptolemaic and Seleukid dynasties would fall into a series of civil wars that made them fully incapable of contesting Roman hegemony in the Mediterranean.
Some other interesting starts:
- Pella in Macedonia, which will turn into the Antigonid Kingdom of Macedonia via Mission tree or event
- Menander, the greatest king of the Indo-Greeks
- Shunga Empire of India, which has just overthrown the Mauryan Empire
- Eukratides the Great, king of Bactria
More information about the characters and setting of the start date can be found on this thread (I will also be posting updates such as new mission trees added to the mod on this thread):

Other features include new heritages, formable nations, flavor events, decisions, and appearances of historical figures like Marius, Sulla and Mithridates VI. I plan to expand greatly upon this mod with more missions and flavor in the future.
***Special Thanks to New Historian for help with planning and creating the Antigonid Macedon mission tree!
