Historical Background
Agathocles, Like the Tyrant Dionysius before him, was also keen on conquering all of Sicily. To oppose him Carthage sent an army to Sicily under the command of Hamilcar.
The Carthaginians were camped on Ecnomus hill above the River Himeras when Agathocles with his son Agatharcus decided to attack despite Hamilcars advantageous defensive position. The battle was a close run affair with the Syracusans making good progress until Carthaginian reinforcements under Bomilcar arrived and attacked their flank causing the Syracusans to rout.
The stage is set. The battle lines are drawn and you are in command. The rest is history.
