Carthage

Carthage is a non-playable faction that only appears in the Pyrrhus Campaign of the Eagle King DLC, as an antagonist of the player.

Carthage starts the campaign as controlling the majority of Sicily, and the player is given a series of objectives to remove their presence from the island on behalf of the Sicilian Greeks in the "A Punic Interlude" objective group.

More specifically, Carthage controls the territories belonging to Selinous and the Elymoi in the main Unification Sandbox, as well as a majority of the territory of Syrakousai and Himera. Carthage has fully assimilated the city of Lilybaion, which is its only native city on the map.

Despite being Phoenician in origin and an enemy of the Greeks, Carthage is given the Greek faction group in-game. This was presumably done because designing an entire new faction group, for an unplayable faction with only one native city on the map to actually recruit its native brigades from, was deemed to not be worth the time and effort.

The faction's icon depicts a horse standing in front of a palm tree, and is taken from ancient Carthaginian coinage.

In-game Description
"Originally founded by Phoenicians from Tyre, the North African city of Carthage gained its independence around 650 BCE and quickly gained control over most Phoenician colonies. It became one of the wealthiest and most powerful cities in the Western Mediterranean and seeks to expand its hegemony to Sicily."
