In-Game Info[]
Hannibal was the commander of the Carthaginian army. (Carthage was a neighbor of the expanding Roman Empire.) He most famously led war-elephants over the Alps into northern Italy to oppose Rome.
Hannibal’s father lost Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica to Rome during the First Punic War. At age 9, Hannibal was made to swear an oath that he would forever hate Rome—and that he would seek revenge for the defeat.
At Trebia, Hannibal’s elephants scared off Rome’s allies. The legions forded the near-frozen river, and found Hannibal’s brother at their rear…while Hannibal’s army stayed warm by their fires.
At Lake Trasimene, Hannibal made his camp look open—and hid his troops on either side of the only road in. The Roman commander led a disorganized charge, and Hannibal’s army cut the legions to pieces.
Finisher: Hannibal headbutts his opponent, forcing them back, then quickly stabs them with a spear. The victim falls to the ground and Hannibal stabs into them, twisting his spear.
