I'm sorry but the Phoenicians and Carthaginians are not the same thing. Take into look as you were to say England and US are pretty much the same why do we have them both in Civ 3. If you were to center in on just the Mediterranean the Phoenicians and Carthaginians would be separate civs. They have similar cultures and religions but they are not the same people so it should be a different Civilization it if Civ 3 were based on the Mediterranean. Carthage fought Rome not the Phoenicians.

Guys, you're right and wrong about Carthage and Phoenicia. :-)

Carthage was a colony of Phoenicia, the legend says it was founded by Dido, because her husband, a rich man from Tyre, was murdered by the King of Tyre. Her friends told her to leave, so she left Phoenicia with her followers and founded Carthage. It was founded in 814 BC.

Carthage belonged to Phoenicia until Phoenicia was overrun by the Babylonians in the 6th century BC. Carthage was powerful enough to become an independent state.

If you want to be historically accurate, you have to play with either the Phoenicians or the Carthaginians in the game.

But if you want a normal CIV game, it doesn't matter (the America / Europe example was good!).

who would be the leaders?
- the gods? if so: what if two religions have the same god?


but the UUs would be fun...

Actually a God Mod might be fun. The Olympians, Jehovah, The Titans, The Egyptian Gods(don't know their group name), Asgard, etc.

Instead of a great leader the battle created unit could be a god or divine avatar, like archangel. Make these units REALLY powerful.

Or, you might have human civs and base their culture group on the gods they worship.
