out and start the work of carving a new home for ourselves.

Hispanic and Gaelic Allies: Hail, Hamilcar, thou hast given us hope and now we shall follow thee every where;we shall uphold thy every wish and view thy every as that were from Heaven itself,showered on our heads.Hail Hamilcar!

Hamilcar: I am certainly not as powerful as the Divine above, but Amen, and to see thy ever lasting
