APEX AGE: ANTIQUITY

Add the Carthage civilization to your collection in Sid Meier's Civilization® VII as part of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection DLC!*

From humble colony to economic hegemony, Carthage rose from the shores of North Africa to dominate the Mediterranean Sea. Its sleek ships ferried goods and riches all over the known world, while at home, the city of Carthage was famed for its master craftsmen and deep agricultural knowledge. Competition with first Greece, then Rome, honed renowned generals and a powerful navy. But war was Carthage’s undoing, and the city was destroyed in 146 BCE.
