Carthage is one of the playable factions in Rome: Total War. They can be played after successfully completing a campaign as a Roman faction or by simple modifications to the game files (more information on which can be found here). They have powerful heavy infantry units and war elephants, however they lack strength in missile and light infantry, thus giving Eastern factions a definite advantage over them.
