What if CARTHAGE defeated ROME?

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.

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.

[@death-istic9586]

Love your videos!💚

[@Chewbert]

That Chewy guy does seem pretty cool ngl Thanks for covering the mod, broski, I appreciate it a lot! Glad to see you ripping it up and reclaiming Carthaginian glory!

[@marlongomezacevedo2170]

33:29 The library of Alexandria wasn't burnt by Christians, they destroyed what was left of it, as the library was mostly destroyed due to negligence, the Christians burned or destroyed what was known as the Serapeum, which was not the Library we know of.

[@joshuafessey4190]

The absolute insane timing of releasing this the day before Oversimplified's Punic Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo dropped can not be overstated

[@petar_bibic]

That's what I thought

[@nrbmemes2414]

I think it's planned trust.

[@SquirrelMaestro]

Let’s say, hypothetically speaking, that Carthage is the greatest empire of all time. Then, this would mean that Laith is the true successor to Carthage as a Tunisian, and should create a Mediterranean empire

[@nekogaming5300]

I meaaan modern tunisians really have very little genetic relation to the phoenicians so i mean not really lol lebanon is ironically the closest to carthage as it’s almost entirely phoenician

It's a simple question, doctor. Would you, or would you not, create a Mediterranean empire based in Tunisia?

[@Sulidaire]

"What's up everyone. It's the Laith-Nayshun!"

[@Aldinth]

The only complaint I have about the mod is the start date. Ain't no way everything in the world would change so little. I do understand it cuts the amount of work tremendously, since all techs, institutions, etc get to keep their names.

[@lieutenantleroy3533]

I agree. The world looks like it's had nothing happened for almost 2,000 years. No migrations and no kingdoms have been formed.

[@_Aowyn_]

Laith talking about how Carthage using the fact they owned land in the levant 2,000 years ago being tenuous at best is hilariously relevant.

[@Quenn21]

I figured he might be insinuating to that but not trying to be specific enough to have it go against him if that makes sense

[@jakedavidheilemann1208]

I feel like the timeline should have been set back a thousand years or so

[@pileofcheese5017]

Formalise seperation of powers is a vanilla decision for any nation with a parliament. That's not an addition of Chewy's.

[@slouching_towards_los_angeles]

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]

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.

[@Mattis06]

@@osmaniesquijarosa4308that is the reason i like the mod

[@brutusthebear9050]

I mean, Gaul is very clearly not unified if you actually look at their mechanics. Their main mechanic is centralization, so the gameplay demonstrates the decentralized nature of the tribes.

[@osmaniesquijarosa4308]

@@Mattis06 what? The old religions? That’s fine, I can like it for that as well, but the fact it’s based in 1444 feels super uncanny and wrong to me.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

[@Gamereal6286]

Chewbert seriously made Laiths wet dream? He can now finally go after it 😄. Mod looks cool, hope you continue playing this one. To your enioyment here are some classic laith quotes: "Now we can hit them with our cogs" "Oh, the library didnt burn down this time?" "Stay in your desert! Dont get close to my civilization!"

[@Ma_Zhongying]

"Stay in your desert! Don't get close to my civilisation!" was just the policy of the Neo-Assyrians.

[@pohorex6834]

did the mongol invasions just not happen in this world?

[@richardbraakman7469]

[@siamigo286]

Please continue this campaign, this has been one of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen on the laith channel

[@madchessLeviathan]

why is the start date 1444? that seems wrong for this senario

[@lilysowden4035]

Ease of making the mod mostly, changing every tech and institution and so on is a pita

[@theragequitter910]

The borders don’t make sense for the date, hope he’s changed the numbers to be more believable

There's no way Oversimplified's Punnic War 2 video comes out the NEXT day. What do you know that we don't, Laith?

[@benc.3128]

To be fair this isn’t the first video laith has made about Carthage

[@benjaminy4872]

I can tell this version is a little while back because it still has the old HRE screen. Anyway the mod looks fire, just one more day to wait then I can play it all weekend.

[@HeroNotFound05]

I am once again requesting that Laith play the Odd Empires mod in EU4

Got to say, with your video on Carthage, and LordLamberts video on that other country that I cant remember the name of. But has OP Ideas I am sooo going to download this.

[@b.ug.p.7681]

The insane difference between your video opening and ludi's video opening is hilarious

[@Diabhork]

2 EU4 Carthage videos in one day, the other from Ludi

[@rogofos]

the starting line of the video is a little funny if you remember that total population of the entire Carthaginian empire and Rome put together was probably half of the current population of Tunis as in a single city has more people today than both of those countries had at the time

[@sophiekirkpatrick300]

Carthage being an end node with essentially no access to european trade is heinous design. either carthage shouldnt be an end node or italian trade should feed into carthage. it feels so bad to be a maritime trading nation where your natural expansion routes all do nothing for your trade.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

My favorite facts about the Punic Wars are the sheer amount of Romans that were killed, only for yet another Legion (or seven) to show up and continue the fight as if 50,000 soldiers hadn't just died the week before

[@Boretheory]

@@ChrisVillagomezdoes defeat really matter if u refuse to surrender and the enemy ends up worse than u?

[@ChrisVillagomez]

@@Boretheory Exactly. Personally, I would have cut my losses after the first couple of Legions died and were almost immediately replaced, if they still sent more it was just proof that Carthage was almost completely outmatched in terms of numbers. Like Troy or Thermopylae, it would only be a matter of time until the Romans overran Carthage

[@Brakiros]

@@ChrisVillagomez Rome almost collapsed after those defeats, they had almost no reserve left and had to rely on their remaining allies and mercenaries to provide more soldiers. So basically Rome fought the middle part of the Second Punic War with 0 manpower reserve
