  The Empire of Splendour - Oksa
Originally, the Empire were called in at the behest of an alliance of Linlin and Poeni in order to settle a dispute with Uuksam, and they remained there after sorting things out.
Furthermore, the presence of Turuk on Linlinese soil is a source of tension with her neighbours.
Poeni was always the richer of the two nations despite having to pay heavy taxes to Pelagia to pass through her ports.

 Punic Wars - MSN Encarta
Punic Wars, name given to the three wars between Rome and Carthage in the 3rd and 2nd centuries bc.
The adjective Punic (Latin Punicus) is derived from Poeni, the name by which the Carthaginians, being of Phoenician descent, were known to the Romans.
The First Punic War (264-241 bc) was the outcome of growing political and economic rivalry between the two nations.

 Painting Carthaginians
My understanding is that Libyan light infantry wore red leather tunics, African spearmen and Poeni spearmen resembled other Hellenistic types with bronze helmet and decorated/painted cuirass (possibly white).
Poeni spearmen are commonly depicted with red or crimson tunics in line with references in ancient sources.
In later years the Poeni spearmen only rarely left the city-area and so may well have been able to retain this uniformity.

Poeni Infantry whilst a slight improvement due to phalanx capability seem to break too easily just like everything else.
I sieged Tingi (or something) which just had their faction leader guarding it with a small forces of poeni infantry and long shields.
i think iberian infantry are best suited to chasing units routed by poeni infantry in phalanx - usually (against gauls in spain) they charge right into the spears, thrash themselves, rout, and get chased down by the fresh iberian infantry.

Today, to kick things off, we'll be looking at those loveable scamps known to history as the Carthaginians, also known as the Poeni to a certain overeducated, bearded prig of an editor in chief.
Poeni infantry are heavy spearmen, armed with heavy thrusting spears and swords.
They are well armoured in chainmail, carry large shields, and are some of the best troops to use an 'anchor' for a battle line.

 Carthage
Various traditions concerning the foundation of Carthage were current among the Greeks, who called the city Karchedon; but the Roman tradition is better known because of the Aeneid, which tells of the city's foundation by the Tyrian princess Dido, who fled from her brother Pygmalion (the name of a historical king of Tyre).
The inhabitants were known to the Romans as Poeni, a derivation from the word Phoenikes (Phoenicians), from which the adjective Punic is derived.
The date of the foundation of Carthage was probably exaggerated by the Carthaginians themselves, for it does not agree with the archaeological data.

In turn, their respect for him was evident in Hamilcar's ability to hold out against Roman siege for so long as Roman influence spread throughout the eastern Mediterranean during the first Punic War from 264-241 B.C. (Punic, i.e.
Poeni in Latin, was the Roman name for the Carthaginians, stemming from the word Phoenician, the ancestral lineage of Carthanginians).
When Rome finally relented, Hamilcar was given free passage with his family, soldiers, and slaves back to Carthage.

 The Goats of Hermes Were Goths
I struggled with the similarities between "Poeni" and "Paeoni," since the Paeoni are not regarded as the Poeni/Phoenicians.
"Poeni" was a term used by Romans to speak of Phoenicians that had founded Carthage, and Roman myth included the Trojan ruler, Aeneas, as part of the Carthaginian make-up.
Then consider Herodotus’ statement that the Paeoni were of the Teucrian (Togarmite?) sect of Trojans, and one has further reason to make the Poeni-Paeoni equation.

By 238 BCE, it had annexed Silicia, Sardinia, and Corsica thus beginning a power struggle with its rival Carthage.
This would lead to three wars called the Punic wars, since the residents of Carthage, the Poeni, were decendants of the seafaring Phoenicians who had settled the trade centers of the western Mediterranean.
Following the defeat of Hannibal in the Second Punic War, Rome annexed Spain (197 BCE); Carthage itself was annexed after the third war in 146 (BCE).

 WARGAMING IN VARNA
The GameMaster may decide to assign a relationship to some NPNs, to simulate pre-existing alliances (for instance Poeni starts with some trading partners, Selamen with one controlled nation - Selna - and one liberated ally: Danaw).
The total cost would normally be 23 (12 + 9 + 2), but because one person embodies three types of leadership, the total cost is at -2, so that Jon Long costs Poeni 21 points.
Next turn an ally arrives to help Poeni, and Nalvi is defeated by 16, losing up to 40% of Poeni’s original size: but Poeni has lost only 30% of its territory, so that is what it regains.

“Punic faith” is about equal to “Spanish honesty.” The Puni (a corruption of Poeni) were accused by the Romans of breaking faith with them, a most extraordinary instance of the “pot calling the kettle fl;” for whatever infidelity the Carthaginians were guilty of, it could scarcely equal that of their accusers.

With a battle of 286v296 (me-them) I completly demolished them with only 3 losses!!!!!(3 of my smaller elephants went crazy and trampled my phalanx line,,) I took a defensive position with Poeni infantry and Sacred Band on a huge hill.
