About Hannibal

Hannibal is a turn-based strategy game set during the historical conflict between Carthage and Rome. Players assume the role of the Carthaginian commander, directing military campaigns across regions from Africa into Europe.

Gameplay involves the management of economic resources, which are obtained from mines and other means, to fund military expansion. These resources are used to raise and maintain armies composed of infantry, cavalry, and war elephants. The core activities include engaging in battles, laying siege to enemy cities, and gradually extending territorial control.
