Do we consider Carthage as belonging to a different civilization from the Phoenician one?

First we need to put some things in the right order. Dido was said to be the founder of Carthage. But history records little of her (most of which are said to be Myths)
Trying to get your answer, I think it is necessary we know how the small land given to Dido became an empire. Was it through the Natives, or she called for Phoenicians to be her new citizens?
The former can easily point out the reason for the distinctions, while the latter will partially prove the relationships.
One should also remember that Phoenicians travelled to Carthage after the defeat of Alexander, (a point raised in some contents of this Forum) which means after three centuries of Carthage being an empire and five centuries from the era of Dido.

The Carthaginians were in several ways distinct from their Phoenician forefathers, while at the same time remaining a recognizably Phoenician offshoot and maintaining cultural ties with Tyre throughout their history. A notable difference is that the Carthaginians were an aristocratic society, while most other Phoenician city states were hereditary royalties. Furthermore the Carthaginian religion, while a direct continuation of the Phoenician religion, had distinct elements adopted from the local traditions of the civilizations the Carthaginians came into contact with.
I think the more accurate description is that the Carthaginians were a distinct branch of the Phoenician civilization, one that today we commonly refer to as Punics, from their Latin name.
