I was disappointed with Carthage also. I expected it to be the biggest challenge for the Roman factions (as it was historically), but in game that isn't the case at all. It isn't as rich as it should be, and it's units are rather weak. An AI controlled Carthage ALWAYS gets easily destroyed by the Romans.
IMO that has to be modded. I'll probably nerf the Egyptians somewhat while making Carthage more formidable. The most powerful faction in Africa should be Carthage, not Egypt.
