Carthage was my first ever victory, but I have never played them since, and I had no real understanding of the game system in my chieftain days. Plus with all the bonuses you get at that level, UU's and a civ's traits have no real affect. However, now looking at their UU, a 2.3.1 spearman replacement, I have some newfound interest in this civ, and I am looking to see what other people think about them.

A lot of interesting ideas can be found in this discussion.

I think that Carthage is underpowered for a civ in this game. So I modded the Rise of Rome conquest so Carthage had multiple UU's. I gave them: Gallic Swordsmen, Mounted Warriors (renamed Iberian Light Cavalry), African War Elephants (4/3/2, wheeled unit, +1 HP), and Numidian Mercenaries.
After that, I played as Rome against them. As expected I won (monarch), but much closer than I'd have expected for an AI.

I always find Carthage to be difficult to play. I just can't seem to get a fix on them and the AI seem determined to score a cheap victory by attacking before I am ready... ((sigh))
I've read the suggestions but it is just a challenge for me

I got my first and as yet only deity victory with Carthage, the UU got me out of a very trick defensive situation
