    453    * '''History: '''The Ptolemies invited Greeks and Galatians (Gauls) alike to settle in Egypt within military settlements called cleruchies (klēroukhia). Under this arrangement, the settlers were given a plot of land, or a kleros, and in return were required to serve in the pharaoh's army when called to duty. This created a upper-middle class of military settlers who owed their livelihoods and fortunes to the pharaoh and helped grow the available manpower for the Egyptian army. A side effect of this system was that it drained the Greek homeland of military-aged men, a contributing factor to Greece's inevitable conquest by Rome.
     456   * '''History:''' The Greco-Macedonian Ptolemy Dynasty relied on large numbers of Greek and foreign mercenaries for the bulk of its military force, mainly because the loyalty of native Egyptian units was often suspect. Indeed, during one native uprising, Upper Egypt was lost to the Ptolemies for decades. Mercenaries were often battle-hardened and their loyalty can be bought, sometimes cheaply, sometimes not cheaply. This was of no matter, since Egypt under the Ptolemies was so prosperous as to be the richest of Alexander's successor states.
    454457   * '''Requirements''': None.
    455458   * '''Phase:''' Town.
    456459   * '''Special:'''
    457      * Expansion building. Instead of building more Civic Centers to expand their territory, Ptolemy players construct Military Settlements instead, which are are weaker and cast a smaller territory radius, but also are cheaper and build faster.
    458      * Trains all "settler" units: Thureos Mercenary Spearman, Galatian Settler Swordsman, Macedonian Settler Cavalry, Tarantine Settler Cavalry.
     460     * Cheap barracks-like structure that is buildable in Neutral territory, but casts no territory influence.
     461     * Trains all "Mercenary" units:
     462     * Min. distance from other Military Settlements: 100 meters.
