The Fall of the Pharaohs

The deadliest war of the ancient Europe.

Preface/Disclaimer:

I am not a great tactician . In fact, I am so poor a tactician that I have never progressed beyond Medium battle difficulty setting in EB. I don’t use house rules because it would make things too difficult. I sometimes even have to cheat my way out of battles, by bridge-choking or other tricks. So this story is not a tale of glorious victories and battles that have turned the tides. There will be no photos of troops being led to slaughter, as in my experience most battles in RTW look pretty much the same – you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Instead, it will focus on the strategical and economical warfare of two major powers. The aspect of RTW that has drawn me to EB and to work on it for a few years before other duties called me away.
Also, I usually get bored with a campaign at some point – usually when all my neighbours attack me at once. This time was different though, as my war with Ptolemies turned into a conflict on a scale I’ve never experienced before, and I decided at some point to start recording the progress of this war. This is the result, so far. I’ve decided to write it in a form of an academic work looking at things from today’s perspective
