Tradition

Description
|
|
Trained Camelry
|
The colossi in the lands to north are stirring; the ancient pharaohs in the west have been usurped - we may have use for a trained force of warriors...
|
|
Ships of the Desert
|
Our knowledge of the desert, and of the vagaries of the ever-shifting geography it creates, melds perfectly with our long tradition of swift, mounted warfare.
|
|
Embrace Afro-Punic Influence
|
N/A
|
|
Oasis Trade
|
To know the watering holes of the animals, the pastures where they graze, and their comings and goings, allows us to invest less time in shepherding them from place to place, as the ones to the west who call themselves 'civilized' do.
|
|
Merchant Coast
|
Ships are the lifeblood of the Arabian and North African coast alike. There is no shortage of labor to build them, providing we can acquire the resources to do so.
|
|
Thick Hide
|
Our mounted warriors ride into battle on fierce and sturdy camels. Surprisingly resilient in battle, our camelry use their maneouverability as their main defense.
|
|
Beasts of Burden
|
Camels are ideally suited to the inhospitable terrain in which they reside. Although used for domestic purposes during peace-time, a massed charge of camel skirmishers is a sight to behold.
|
|
Desert Sands
|
Our people know the ways of the desert like no other. How to disappear without trace, how to leave a trail which leads enemy scouts in circles, and how to win a war of attrition without taking a single life.
|
|
Good Reputation
|
The vast wealth of the Egyptian kingdoms attracted sizable mercenary interest. A routine standard of payment of these forces allows for prices to be negotiated in our favor.
|
|
Legacy of the Builders
|
From the Temple of Solomon to the grand edifices of Tylos, our ancestors have taught us to build well, and to build with pride.
|
|
Colonial Integration
|
Following in the footsteps of the Phoenician traders, the establishment of colonies of devoted, loyal soldiers, gives us a manpower base to draw upon.
|
|
Stonemovers
|
The monumental projects commissioned by our forefathers still stand as testament to our legacy in stonework. Whilst many of these techniques have been lost, our masons still possess an almost preternatural sense of the cold beauty of the stone they shape.
|
|
Cradle of Civilization
|
The densely packed Nile delta contains numerous bustling metropolises filled to the brim with those willing to serve us.
|
|
Unending Riches
|
The obscene wealth of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and the desperate need for experienced commanders, led to exorbitant sums being offered to any foreign generals who would work for them. Loyalty may be expensive, but it can be bought.

Description

|
Pathfinders
|
Knowledge of one's environment can be used as a weapon or as a tool. Living off the desert is entirely possible, if one knows where to look.
|
|
Sturdy Design
|
The scarcity of shipbuilding material in many regions has led to our artisans ensuring that every plank is well spent. Our vessels are built with one purpose in mind: to endure.
|
|
Ramming Speed
|
The Ptolemaic navy was consistently in a process of development, not least due to the difficulty of obtaining appropriate building material. That said, the smaller ships of the Ptolemaios' could hold their own in battle, often defeating vessels much larger than themselves.
|
|
Arms Race
|
Disciplined crews of oarsmen serve us far better than the rag-tag slave crews employed by our adversaries.
|
|
The Blood of Egypt
|
The Nile has been the theater for numerous naval conflicts in ages past. Now that naval warfare has spilled out onto the Mediterranean, our long history of unusual naval tactics gives us an edge over more conventional forces.
|
|
Greek Warfare
|
As with the other successor states, the phalanx made up the core of the Ptolemiac army. Comprised of varying unit-types, the core principle was the same as inherited from the Macedonian reformation of the style, many decades previously.
|
|
Embrace Levantine-Greek Influence

N/A
|
|
The Spear of the Kingdom
|
Egyptian ancestors fought with bronze spears, clad in all but the most basic protection. With the advent of iron-working, weapons and armor have been improved tenfold, and our soldiers further bolstered.
|
|
Thorakitai
|
Capable of working in the phalanx style, the thorakitai were often better equipped than their counterpart, the Thureophoroi, but were still used as a bridge between the heavier fighting men, and light, agile skirmishers.
|
|
Rank Upon Rank
|
The great hordes of Egypt, as if assembled by the Pharaohs of old, strike fear into the hearts of those who dare oppose us!
|
|
Surfeit of War
|
After the collapse of Alexander's empire, the Mediterranean was filled with a surfeit of unemployed warriors. Many of these were trained phalangites, and were often willing to work for a significantly reduced wage.
|
|
Machimoi Epilektoi
|
Native Egyptian soldiers played little part in the Ptolemaic army, until the formation of the 'Chosen Machimoi', after manpower concerns were raised. Despite the unpopularity of this move by the Greek soldiery, the Machimoi held a valued place in the Ptolemaic army, and were renowned for their ferocity.
|
|
Learning From the Best
|
Having seen Roman troops in action, the Seleukid and Ptolemaic dynasties attempted to mimic aspects of Roman military philosophy in their own forces. Whilst limited in success, the greater attention to mobility and flexibility must have paid dividends in many engagements.
