Restricing Ptolemaioi recruitment

[Krusader]

The Galatians Ptolemy lured onto and trapped on an island to starve were not killed to justify his kingship; who would it justify it to? The Galatians forced his hand when they tried to establish their own independent kingdom.

In any case, though our recruitment is currently a bit exaggerated and being handled, the area of Galatian settlement (in klerouchies or city garissons), was fairly extensive - and oasis areas were tapped.

My wording was wrong I see and I forgot some key points
I did not mean the Galatians were killed just for Ptolemy II to enhance his prestige, I meant that their mutiny offered him a good excuse.

Antigonos Gonatas & Antiochus I used their victories of the Galatians/Celts to justify their claims of kingship, as protectors of Greeks from an external threat.
Ptolemy II did not use his slaughtering of 4000 mercenaries as justification, but he used it to enhance his prestige along the lines of Antigonos Gonatas & Antiochus I and attributed his victory to the gods and in similar fashion to how the battle of Delphi had been attributed to Apollo giving his aid to the Greek soldiers present at Delphi.

And no one reacting to the fact Ptolemaioi will get 'Galatian Gaesatae'
