    Spreading word of Seti’s greatness goes hand in hand with denigrating everyone else. And if words could kill, Seti’s scribes would be butchers beyond compare.

    • -3 Happiness (this province)
    • -3 Workforce Growth -3 (this province)

    Of the whole concept of taxation, Seti understands only the “taking others’ things” part. But that part the understands very, very well.

    Campaign[]

    As the direct appointed successor to this father, Pharaoh Merneptah, Seti has no patience for the instability that threatens the foundations of the Kingdom. He is so close to power that he can taste it, and his impatience is mirrored by his ferocity.

    Seti starts near the border between Upper and Lower Egypt. He is the easy warlike faction - his starting army is large, he has all 5 resource settlements nearby. He starts in alliance with his wife, Tausret. His armies are numerous and he doesn't care if he'll lose the peasants in exchange for victory.
