Carthage is the second and the last republic available in the game.
This age-old Rome enemy begins the game having several colonies spread across the Mediterranean.
The Carthago, capital of the country, is located in the North Africa and is surrounded by allies.
Due to locations of various regions, Carthage sooner or later will have to clash with neighbors.
In Iberia you’ll come across hostile Turdetani.
And expansion to the north sooner or later will be stopped by Roman military power.
Units available for Carthage are at most average.
You’ll have to rely on expensive mercenaries and in addition you’ll have to develop economy and trade.
Hannonid Dynasty:
Hannonids rely solely on mercenaries to rapidly conquer distant lands.
Magonid dynasty is very expansive andiron fistwill allow them to more easily maintain newly conquered territories.
Barcid Dynasty:
Barcid dynasty is the equivalent to Roman Junii.
The most important available units
Libyan hoplites
One of the cheapest hoplites units available for Carthage.
They have low morale and poor melee attack but their armor allows them to stand few hits.
Late Carthaginian hoplites
Heavy armored Carthaginian hoplites.
Sacred band
Elite Carthage infantry.
Libyan peltasts
Projectile units used to harass the enemy.
Libyan infantry
Shock infantry equipped with swords.
They have better attack than pikemen but they are also worse armored.
They are ideal to flank armored enemy units.
African pikemen
Cheap pikemen unit available for Carthage.
African elephants
The most important Carthage unit, used to break enemy lines and to trample enemy troops.
You should use war elephants any time it is possible to strengthen your army.
Carthaginian cavalry
Auxiliary unit used to smash skirmishers and light infantry.
Unfortunately it is not good to stand against enemy cavalry or pikemen.
Carthaginian ballista
Distance support for Carthaginian army.
War machines, just like elephants, partially make up for shortage of effective infantry and cavalry.
