    Campaign[]

    Driven by reckless ambition, Ramesses sees himself as the chosen of the gods, destined to rule as Pharaoh. Thus, he is well suited to forging ahead at full speed, achieving swift victories on his path to one day claiming Egypt’s throne.

    Ramesses starts in Sinai near some bronze mines. He is the main character - his campaign is the most comfortable to play with the easiest starting conditions. His armies are elite - stronger, but fewer in number than other factions. He is twice as fast in the court - he has 2 actions per turn where other factions only have 1.

    Character: Ramesses
    Starting situation: Easy
