Sobekneferu 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
Sobekneferu took the throne around 1800 BCE as the first woman confirmed to rule Egypt as pharaoh. She completed her father Amenemhat III’s monuments and ruled in her own name, wearing royal regalia that mixed male and female dress. Every later female pharaoh, including Hatshepsut, followed the path she opened.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Senusret III was the Middle Kingdom’s warrior pharaoh, leading campaigns deep into Nubia and digging a canal through the Nile’s first cataract for his war fleet. His statues broke tradition by showing him with tired eyes and a careworn face - a king carrying the weight of rule.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
After a century of civil war, Mentuhotep II reunited Egypt around 2050 BCE and founded the Middle Kingdom. Later Egyptians honored him alongside Narmer as one of the great unifiers. His terraced temple at Deir el-Bahri inspired Hatshepsut’s famous one next door, five centuries later.

Common Manager, level 5
Khenemetneferhedjet I was a queen of Senusret II and mother of Senusret III; her name means "united with the white crown." Her jewelry and crowns from Lahun are among the finest goldwork Egypt ever produced.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Khenemetneferhedjet I to 5 is what automates Egypt Middle Kingdom.
