Overview
Carthage was a city founded by Dido on 813 B.C. on the tip of Africa, overseeing Sicily. Later years it would expand across the coast of North Africa including some land in the Mediterranean due to its power control on the sea. Their main force consisted of their naval power and mercenaries they hired in times of war.
Carthage was an economical empire due to its power over the mediterranean sea, trading with many cities. In 280 B.C. they supported the Romans against Pyrrhus of Epirus. Unfortunately this did not lead to a strong relationship. Rome and Carthage despise each other, not because of personal taste, but because Carthage is too close to Rome and poses as a threat. War is imminent among the two, so it's best for Carthage to prepare as Syracuse is likely to aid the Romans in gaining the province of Lilybaeum located in Sicily. Rome is not the only threat that Carthage has, as to the west in Hispaniola, many tribes are not so fond of the Carthaginians staying in their land.
Carthage has the potential to become an economical empire. Unfortunately, Carthage is spread thin in territory and defending two borders will not be an easy task to achieve, so it's best to plan ahead.
