Kemet

Introduction

The civilization of Kemet is one of the oldest and most respected in all the world. The river Nile gives bountiful fertility to the people of Kemet letting them enjoy rich splendor and vast monuments to their own greatness. But it also supplies the men of the south with enough vigor and courage to challenge the mighty Pharaoh! The Kushites fringe upon the borders of Egypt and are a constant threat to their hegemony in eastern Africa. Not only these proud warriors threaten the Pharaoh's rule, the cunning Phoinikians and equally ancient Babylonians border their lands to the north east and all eyes are on the Gold of the Pharoah's treasury.

The children of the Nile have had many hundreds of years to perfect their style of warfare. Strong native spearmen with large protective shields and foreign mercenary hoplites hold the line whilst the light troopers try to decimate the enemy formations by missile fire. And to deal the killer blow the lethal chariots are employed to mince the enemy and draw them out to their deaths in the desert.

Kemet will have large amounts of gold to spend on their cities and armies, but they will also deal with threats from many sides. If the Pharaoh can master his first challenges and secure a strong foothold, then all Asia will be exposed to his mighty armies!
