Rhye’s and Fall of Carthage<\/h1>\n

UHV<\/h1>\n

Carthages unique historic victory conditions are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Secure 3 dye resources by 350 AD<\/li>\n
  2. Control 7 coastal cities in the Mediterranean in 350 AD<\/li>\n

    Unique Power<\/h1>\n

    Mercenaries: Mercenaries hire and maintenance costs halved.<\/p>\n

    Mercenaries are crucial for achieving the Carthaginian UHV. Otherwise I don’t hold mercenaries in high esteem: They’re deprecated after the middle ages, so why level these units? They’re expensive (except for Carthage) and the initial promotions they come with aren’t that powerful. Bottom line: Carthage is the only civ I hired mercenaries with. In not one single game other than this did I bother with them.<\/p>\n

    Unique Building – Kothon<\/h2>\n

    \"unique<\/p>\n

    The Kothon is an extremely valuable boost to your economy as it provides an additional trade route very early in the game.<\/p>\n

    Unique Unit – Numidian Cavalry<\/h2>\n

    \"Rhye'sThe Numidian Cavalry is extremely powerful! It replaces the horseman and has +50% attack against catapults AND melee units. It starts with flanking and can retreat from archers in cities. All in all the Numidian Cavalry hugely supports your UHV playing Rhye’s and Fall Carthage.<\/p>\n

    Carthaginian Strategy<\/h1>\n

    Carthage is a great civilization to play! Challenging Unique Historical Victory conditions, one arc-enemy (Rome<\/a>!) and the potential for bringing this civilization into the modern age!<\/p>\n

    At first I had problems, figuring out where to get my dye-resources from. What helped me a lot was this video:
