Wondering tribes of the Lost dessert meet to discuss peace in the Valley of Thebes. After much debate, the philosophers of the thirty tribes decide to unite into one empire, EGYPT. The valley was chosen for the city of Thebes, where the Pharoh Tanus will rule from.
After five years, Thebes grew from a small hut, to several small huts, then to stone structures. Warriors from the past tribes arrive at Thebes, thus started the military of Egypt, making the Warriors of Ra.
 
One night, a cold one at that, there was a brake in at the Palace (a stone cave). From there, the Pharohs wife was taken. Many villagers saw the crime, and pointed the Pharoh towards the lost Dessert. Accompanied by the Warriors of Ra, the Pharoh left to find his wife. The desert was harsh, and it took 20 years just to make it to the village of the Minoin capturers, but when they found them, it was the power of Ra that they won. With their first battle a success, when the reached bakc home, they were accompanied by another warrior regiment, Warriors of Isis.
Not all was well in the Egyptian land. People from Thebes grew unrest, and lef the city, not expected to return. But to Pharohs suprise, they founded a new city on the coast, just south of Thebes and named it Memphis. By pledging loyalty to the Pharoh, the Warriors of Isis were sent to protet the city.
After a thrid city, Heliopolis, was founded in 2345, the Egyptian empire flourished. Five warrior regiments were now in place in the cities, and two mroe were north in the forest of the Black. Also in the same year, explorers reported back to Egypt about a demand another nation to the south proclaimed. The so-called magestic Greece demanded 90 gold, two-thirds of the Egyptian treasury, or they would destroy the empire Pharoh Tanus had worked so hard for. This, the Pharoh would not tolerate. All five of the regiments were ordered to the Greek Capital, Athens, and the two regiments in the north were ordered home. Also, the grand Osiris regiments of Spearmen were created, and one regiment was ordered per city.
The Army of Isis, first to reach the Greco-home land, captured hostiges and sent them to Thebes. The same year, the army of Horus spotted a single regiment of Greek warriors in the Dessert-stricken mountains, heading north. Suprising them, the army of Horus deafeted the Greek men in the battle for the mountains
After the Greek defeat in the mountains, the greek general ordered a retreat to Athens, where the army of Horus and Isis followed, but not to meet an unprepared army like before. Both armies attack, and both were destroyed by the Royal Greek Spearmen. Now the Egyptians lacked an offensive army, and had angered the Greek who were so close. Only fate can tell what will happen
 
I must say Womoks terrain lends itself well to epic screenshots...
Love the way you name your units after various deities!
 
I like your maps. Nice how you've named the different parts of it. And also what wilboman said. :D
