Maktaba is the last Iron Age province and is ruled by Hasdrubaal Barkas. It is unlocked after conquering West-Nagach. This province consists of three sectors and gives the player 1 expansion.
It is considered to be one of the most difficult battles in the Iron Age, as Barkas uses catapults in this province, which are from the Early Middle Ages.
Narrative[]
If previous sectors acquired by negotiation:
| “ | Let us talk about politics. I know when I am beaten. I bow down to you - you are far greater a leader than I will ever be. I am willing to accept you as my king in my home province. We should discuss the terms. | „ |
If at least one sector taken by force:
| “ | I am almost beaten. You control most of my once glorious empire. I would be willing to turn over my home province, if you make a good offer. Otherwise, I'll defend Maktaba with everything I have! | „ |
Attack:
| “ | I will defend Maktaba to the bitter end. | „ |
