  • EU4 mods are a plenty but this one is different - this one, we get to play as CARTHAGE! Forget EU4 Rome and EU4 Roman Empire, EU4 Carthage is the one you should be looking for. This is EU4 Post Finem, where we answer the question of what if Carthage won the Punic Wars? In my opinion, this is the greatest alternate timeline of all time. EU4 Alternate History doesn't get better than this.
    What if CARTHAGE defeated ROME?

      Would be an interesting idea to make a video about East vs West: A Hearts of Iron Game (cancelled Paradox Cold War that thankfully was leaked online and you can actually play it). You can find in on Wayback Machine details EastvsWest (and download it for free). It's sad that so few people knew about this game and even fewer actually played it.

    @slouching_towards_los_angeles 6 месяцев назад +57

    Not hating on the mod at all, it looks really well made and fun, but the plausibility of this alt-historical setup is thinner than whatever fabric they're transporting up the African silk road.
    (Not the Carthage winning part, thats actually reasonably plausible, moreso the idea that in ~1600 years so little about the geopolitics of the Mediterranean would have changed from antiquity. Also, the changes that are portrayed, such as the Suebi seizing western Iberia while at the same time a strong and unified Gaul would have stood directly in the path they would have had to travel to get there, don't really pass the sniff test for me.

    • @osmaniesquijarosa4308
      @osmaniesquijarosa4308 6 месяцев назад +16

      Yeah, it would’ve been more interesting if we had some migratory Germanic successor states in North Africa, Iberia, and Italy. Also no Avars/Magyars and no Balkan Slavs/Germans is super unrealistic and lame. This mod would be infinitely better if every region had some sort of struggle between the old powers and new upstarts, which some would be from migratory groups and others from Christians or Muslims that have taken root. Tbh the most unrealistic aspect is the religions.
