The Carthaginian people represent Carthage, a civilization in Civilization II.
Color[]
The Carthaginians are an orange civilization. A game including them will not have the English or Greeks.
Leaders[]
The default male leader of the Carthaginians is Hannibal (247–c. 182 BC), a suffet whose campaigns against the Romans in the Second Punic War established him as one of history's greatest generals.
The default female leader is Dido, the legendary Tyrian exile who founded Carthage c. 814 BC. In Roman myth, particularly Vergil's Aeneid, she committed suicide after a failed romance with the Trojan exile and Roman forefather Aeneas.
Carthaginian leaders only use the default titles under various governments.
Personality[]
The Carthaginian AI is militaristic.
Cities[]
The default Carthaginian list consists of ancient and medieval settlements in the general area of the Carthaginian Empire. Only Rusaddir is a Carthaginian name for a Carthaginian settlement; other names are given in English, Latin, Italian, Arabic, or Berber.

When this list is completed, the game continues with the names in the extra cities list. When that list is completed, the game cycles back to the top of this list with "Carthage" again.
Cypsela is a possibly imaginary city in Iberia that was included in an old Roman periplus. Cartennas is an ungrammatical form of Cartennae; Ebusas is an ungrammatical form of Ebusus, the Latin name for Ibiza; Carthago Novo is an ungrammatical form of Carthago Nova, the Latin name for the Qart Hadasht on the Iberian Peninsula. Rusaddit is apparently a misspelling of Rusaddir, which also appears on the list. Taparura and Ilici were apparently Greek and Roman foundations in the Punic sphere. Sebta is the Arabic form of Latin Septem, Punic Abyla. Hippo Regius also appears on the Roman city list. Rabat, the capital of Morocco founded in the 12th century, also appears on the Arab city list. Monoecus is the same as Monaco on the French list. Malaca, Gades, Lucentum, and "Carthago Novo" are the same cities as Malaga, Cadiz, Alicante, and Cartagena on the Spanish list.
Scenarios[]
In The Rise of Rome, the Carthaginians are green (Zulus) and occupy the south-west of the map in northwest Africa and southern Spain. Their biggest city and capital is Carthage.
