Idle Ages / Ages / Ptolemaic Egypt
Ptolemaic Egypt is age 24 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 305 BCE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.

| Heroes | Cleopatra, Arsinoe II, Ptolemy I, Berenice II |
Cleopatra 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
Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh, spoke nine languages and was the first of her Greek dynasty to learn Egyptian. She allied with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony to keep Egypt independent of Rome. She lived closer in time to the Moon landing than to the building of the Great Pyramid.
Raises production speed in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Arsinoe II was queen of Thrace, then of Egypt beside her brother Ptolemy II - scandalous to Greeks, traditional to Egyptians. She was worshipped as a goddess in her own lifetime, with her own temples and priestesses, and cities across two continents were renamed Arsinoe in her honor.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Ptolemy, Alexander’s boyhood friend and general, grabbed Egypt when the empire shattered - and hijacked Alexander’s funeral cortege to bury him in Alexandria for legitimacy. He founded the Library of Alexandria and a dynasty that ended only with Cleopatra, 275 years later.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Berenice II ruled Egypt jointly with Ptolemy III and dedicated a lock of her hair for his safe return from war. When the lock vanished from the temple, the court astronomer declared the gods had placed it in the sky - the constellation Coma Berenices, "Berenice’s Hair," still carries her name.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Berenice II to 5 is what automates Ptolemaic Egypt.
