Religion
Main article: Religion in Carthage
Ruins of Punic houses on the Byrsa Hill
Stelae on the TophetCarthaginian religion was based on Phoenician religion. Phoenician religion was inspired by the powers and processes of nature. Many of the gods they worshipped, however, were localized and are now known only under their local names. A pantheon was presided over by the father of the gods, but a goddess was the principal figure in the Phoenician pantheon.
[edit]
Pantheon
The supreme divine couple was that of Tanit and Ba'al Hammon. The goddess Astarte seems to have been popular in early times. At the height of its cosmopolitan era, Carthage seems to have hosted a large array of divinities from the neighbouring civilizations of Greece, Egypt and the Etruscan city-states.

First of all, you've got your games mixed up. The Temple of Baal is in "Baulder's Gate" and Carthage is in "Age of Empires". That's the only places these things exist as far as I know or care.

Baal worship is practically gone now but it was mostly practiced in modern Syria and Iraq.
Carthage was outside the modern city of Tunis but when Rome conquered it, they salted the earth and nothing significant grows there to this day.
