He was instrumental in Alexander's later campaigns in Bactria (modern Afghanistan) and India. After Alexander's death, Ptolemy took control of the Satrap of Egypt, and after the Battle of Ipsus became sole ruler of Egypt as "Pharaoh," founding the Ptolemy Dynasty that would rule Egypt for nearly 3 centuries. Ptolemaic Egypt reached the height of its territorial boundaries under his reign as he added Syria, Judea, Cyprus, and parts of Asia Minor to his realm. His reputation for bonhomie and liberality attached the floating soldier-class of Macedonians and Hellenes to his service, and was not insignificant; nor did he wholly neglect conciliation of the native Egyptians. He was a ready patron of letters, founding the Great Library of Alexandria. He himself wrote a history of Alexander's campaigns that has not survived. This used to be considered an objective work, distinguished by its straightforward honesty and sobriety. However, Ptolemy may have exaggerated his own role, and had propagandist aims in writing his History. Although now lost, it was a principal source for the surviving account by Arrian of Nicomedia. Ptolemy died in 283 BCE, the last of the Diodachoi, leaving a well-ordered and stable kingdom to his progeny. 297 * '''Garrison:''' 298 * '''Garrison:''' 3. 298 299 * '''Function:''' Construction Foreman and Mercenary Captain. 299 300 * '''Special:''' … … 311 312 * '''Shield:''' Cavalry shield with Ptolemaic insignia. 312 313 * '''Figure(s):''' . 313 * '''Mount:''' 314 * '''Mount:''' Similar to the King's Guard Cavalry, except more elaborate. 314 315 * '''History:''' Ptolemy IV Philopater's reign was inaugurated by the murder of his mother, and he was always under the dominion of favourites, male and female, who indulged his vices and conducted the government as they pleased. Self-interest led his ministers to make serious preparations to meet the attacks of Antiochus III the Great on Coele-Syria including Judea, and the great Egyptian victory of Raphia (217), where Ptolemy himself was present, secured the northern borders of the kingdom for the remainder of his reign. Ptolemy IV is said to have built a giant ship known as the tessarakonteres ("forty"), a huge type of galley. The forty of its name may refer to its number of banks of oars. The current theory is that Ptolemy's ship was an oversize catamaran galley, measuring 128 m 420 ft. 315 316 * '''Garrison:''' 2. … … 322 323 * '''Specific Name: Kleopatra H' Philopater.''' 323 324 * '''Class:''' Hero3. 324 * '''Hacker Armament:''' 325 * '''Hacker Armament:''' Recurved bow. 325 326 * '''Ranged Armament:''' None. 326 327 * '''Appearance:''' … … 519 520 * '''Specific Name: .''' 520 521 * '''History:''' . 521 * '''Effect:''' 522 * '''Effect:''' Increased food production for farm fields. 522 523 523 524 * '''ST2''' 524 * '''Generic Name: 525 * '''Generic Name: Pharaonic Cult.''' 525 526 * '''Specific Name: .''' 526 527 * '''History:''' . 527 * '''Effect:''' 528 * '''Effect:''' Hero aura range boosted by 50%.
