Put a lavish tent on the rear between the two aft catapults. 278 * '''History:''' The age of the Successors ('Diadokhoi') was the age of the arms race. Ever larger and more complex machines of war were envisioned and constructed. Among those machines was the gigantic juggernauts of the Ptolemaic navy, or 'Poliremes'. Some of these ships were large enough to boast crews of over a thousand strong or more. These were more like floating fortresses than tactical naval ships. With the end of the Hellenistic states in the 1st century BC came the end of these mighty juggernauts. 279 * '''Garrison:''' Cannot. 280 * '''Function: '''Floating fortress and transport barge. 281 * '''Special:''' 282 282 * Build limit: 1 (raised to 2 during the lifetime of Ptolemy IV Philopater). 283 283 284 285 286 284 === PTOLEMAIC HEROES === 287 * '''Generic Name: 288 * '''Specific Name: 285 * '''Generic Name: Ptolemy I "Savior".''' 286 * '''Specific Name: Ptolemaios A' Soter.''' 289 287 * '''Class:''' Hero1. 290 * '''Hacker Armament:''' 288 * '''Hacker Armament:''' . 291 289 * '''Ranged Armament:''' None. 292 290 * '''Appearance:''' 293 * '''Body:''' .294 * '''Helmet:''' 295 * '''Shield:''' None.291 * '''Body:''' Similar to that of a Macedonian Silver Shield, but with a cape.

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. 299 * '''Garrison:''' 2.300 * '''Function:''' 297 * '''Garrison:''' 3. 298 * '''Function:''' Construction Foreman and Mercenary Captain. 301 299 * '''Special:''' 302 300 * "Hero" Aura (Decreases build time for nearby structures.) … … 304 302 305 303 * '''Generic Name: Ptolemy IV "Father Loving".''' 306 * '''Specific Name: 304 * '''Specific Name: Ptolemaios D' Philopater.''' 307 305 * '''Class:''' Hero2. 308 * '''Hacker Armament:''' 306 * '''Hacker Armament:''' . 309 307 * '''Ranged Armament:''' None. 310 308 * '''Appearance:''' 311 * '''Body:''' 312 * '''Helmet:''' 313 * '''Shield:''' None.309 * '''Body:''' Bronze muscled cuirass over a long flowing Egyptian tunic.

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. 317 315 * '''Garrison:''' 2. … … 321 319 * "Hero"Aura (Egyptian Pikemen have greater stats within vision of him.) 322 320 323 * '''Generic Name: Cleopatra .'''324 * '''Specific Name: Kleopatra VIIPhilopater.'''321 * '''Generic Name: Cleopatra VII.''' 322 * '''Specific Name: Kleopatra H' Philopater.''' 325 323 * '''Class:''' Hero3. 326 * '''Hacker Armament:''' Xiphos short sword.324 * '''Hacker Armament:''' Recurved bow. 327 325 * '''Ranged Armament:''' None. 328 326 * '''Appearance:''' … … 513 511 * '''Land Trade:''' Average. 514 512 * '''Naval Trade:''' Good. 515 * '''Architecture:''' Excellent, except for houses, mills, and farmsteads, which are very weak.513 * '''Architecture:''' Excellent, except for houses, mills, corrals, and farmsteads, which are very weak. 516 514 * '''Defenses:''' Good. 517 515 518 516 == SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES == 519 517 * '''ST1''' 520 * '''Generic Name: .'''518 * '''Generic Name: Archimedes'Screw.''' 521 519 * '''Specific Name: .''' 522 520 * '''History:''' . 523 * '''Effect:''' 521 * '''Effect:''' Increased food production for farm fields. 524 522 525 523 * '''ST2''' 526 * '''Generic Name: 524 * '''Generic Name: Pharaonic Cult.''' 527 525 * '''Specific Name: .''' 528 526 * '''History:''' . 529 * '''Effect:''' 527 * '''Effect:''' Hero aura range boosted by 50%.
