First Queen of Carthage
Rarity: LEGENDARY
Civilization: 
Carthage
Talents: 
Dido, also known as Elissa was the legendary founder and first queen of the Phoenician city-state of Carthage (located in Tunisia), in 814 BC. She was the queen of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre (today in Lebanon) who fled tyranny to found her own city in northwest Africa.
Dido was a clever and enterprising woman who fled her ruthless and autocratic brother, Pygmalion, after discovering that he was responsible for her husband’s death. Through her wisdom and leadership, the city of Carthage is founded and made prosperous.
Dido remains an enduring figure in Western culture and arts since the early Renaissance and into the 21st century. In the early 20th century, she was also chosen as a national symbol in Tunisian nationalism and so Tunisian women can be poetically referred to “Daughters of Dido”.

Review of Commander Dido:
- Dido is an anti-swarm garrison commander that is useful to defend structures that are facing multiple rallies and/or swarms. However, to maximize the benefit you get from all her skills, the troops she command must comprise only of Archer units. This is possible for example, in Ark of Osiris, when you defend a structure in enemy territory.
- Dido’s second skill is a counter to Infantry rallies. The current Infantry rally meta is Tariq / Sargan.
