Carthaginian (Civ2)

The Carthaginian civilization (Carthaginians) is a default civilization in Civilization II.

Color

The Carthaginians are an orange civilization. A game including them will not have the English or Greeks.

Leaders

Main article: Leaders (Civ2)

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.

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. Carthago Novo is a misspelling 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. Thaenae and Taparura are both ancient names of Sfax in Tunisia. 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, and "Carthago Novo" are the same cities as Malaga, Cadiz, and Cartagena on the Spanish list.
