Piye raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Piye, king of Nubia, marched north and conquered Egypt itself - then founded the 25th dynasty, its kings wearing the double cobra of two lands. His victory stele is one of the great war chronicles of antiquity; he spared cities that surrendered and honored the gods of the land he took.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Amanirenas, the one-eyed warrior queen of Kush, answered Rome’s taxes with war: her armies sacked Roman forts and carried off the bronze head of Emperor Augustus, burying it under a temple doorway so every visitor stepped on his face. Rome negotiated - and canceled the taxes.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Taharqa, greatest of the Nubian pharaohs, ruled an empire from the Mediterranean to the heart of Africa. He built at Karnak, raised steep pyramids at Nuri, and even appears in the Bible resisting Assyria. Under him, ancient Egypt was ruled from the south - by Africa’s deep interior.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Shanakdakhete is the earliest known ruling queen of Meroë, opening the era of the kandakes - the sovereign queens of Nubia who ruled in their own right, built pyramids, and led armies. Her name is the first in a line that later stopped Rome itself.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Shanakdakhete to 5 is what automates Kushite Nubia.
