Is it possible to win as Carthage.

I was just wondering how hard it is to win a Carthaginian campaign, is it easy, normal, hard or very hard.

SPQR is geared towards the Romans so any campaign with an AI faction will be easy going. More so for the Carthaginians because of Hannibal and his super armies in southern Italy. Overnumber them and you might be able to take out the Senate armies with some effort. Leaving Sicily to the Greeks and focusing on Africa would make the beginning simple. A challenge would be to fight for Sicily, Italy, and Spain while holding off the Egyptians.

On a skell from easy to very hard what would you say it would be.

Compared to the difficulty in playing as Romans, I should say very easy

In fact, every faction except Rome (Julii) gets extra money at the start, bonus population growth and happiness, and lower recruitment costs and upkeeps.

Wait, is Carthage an AI faction i'm a little confused.

"AI Faction" is just a term used to describe the original playable factions from RTW. We use it because since this mod is meant to be played as Rome, it's easier to refer to the other factions in this way.

Carthage is still a playable faction. Just look at the campaign screen and it shows all of the factions that are playable.
