Historical records of Dido are very limited, and historians debate her historicity. The third Punic War resulted in the sacking and conquest of Carthage by the Romans.

This economic success and naval supremacy lead to three Sicilian Wars with Greece and three Punic Wars with the Roman Republic. When Alexander the Great destroyed Tyre in 332 BC, the Phoenician colony of Carthage began claiming control over Tyre's former colonies in Sicily, Sardinia, Morocco, and Iberia, and established itself as the commercial center of the Western Mediterranean. Phoenician control was centered in Tyre, whose colonies paid tribute but were not directly controlled by Tyre itself. In the ancient world, the Phoenicians exercised near absolute dominance over maritime trade in the south Mediterranean.

Even though her actual ability didn't change, the new trade route mechanics changed the function of the harbor, which subtly changes how Carthage should be approached by Brave New World players.

One civilization that received an indirect upgrade by the changes introduced in Brave New World is Dido's Carthaginian empire. Continuing my series of strategy guides for the civilizations of Brave New World, I have now moved onto legacy civs whose strategies have changed somewhat due to the expansions' features.
