In-Game Encyclopedia[]
Successor Kingdoms
After Alexander's death, his mightiest generals tore apart his empire as they fought for it. Over the years the claims and counter-claims of legitimacy deepened the rivalry between the Successors. While all claimed to be Greek and promoted Hellenization in their kingdoms, each also claimed to be the one true inheritor of Alexander's legacy...
Factions
Ptolemaic Egypt was one of the most impressive cultural and economic powers in the Mediterranean. By combining local customs with the sponsorship of the finest minds in the Hellenistic world, Ptolemy married the grandeur of ancient empire with modern sophistication. However, Egypt’s power has waned, and her rulers court Roman support to validate their claims. Cleopatra has exploited this masterfully, ushering in a peace that maximizes Egypt’s trade and agricultural might. With the right leader at the helm to marshal these resources, Egypt could even rise beyond the heights of its former supremacy!

You are Egypt[]
Egypt's present may be a pale imitation of its past glory, but its future greatness is in your hands. You must restore your ancient holdings in Africa and in the east. Your greatest ally in this endeavor will be the Roman general, Mark Antony. He will deal with the ever-expansionist Parthians, enabling you to turn and dispatch the troublesome Nasamones to the west. While Judea and Nabatea remain Antony's protectorates, east Africa and Arabia will be your for the taking. However, be mindful of Lepidus lurking in the west, as once the Triumvirate breaks down he may seek to add Egypt into his African domain. This must not allowed to be allowed to happen; ensure that the Champions of Ma'at are ever victorious!
