Sometimes, Pharaoh or the governor of another city
may need additional troops to defend a city against
attack or to conquer a foreign land. When troops
from your city are needed, Pharaoh and other cities are
not shy about asking you to send them. To send com-
panies and ships to aid your compatriots, visit your
Overseer of the Military and tell him which companies
and ships should be made available for Kingdom ser-
vice and to dispatch them. Your Political Overseer can
also send troops and warships to battle once they have
been tagged by your Overseer of the Military. If mul-
tiple requests for the same type of troop are outstand-
ing, you must visit the Political Overseer to tell him
where to dispatch the city’s soldiers.

The Overseer of the Military keeps track of the army
and the navy. Switch between the army and navy sta-
tus reports by clicking on the button in the lower right
corner.
The army status report displays each company’s name,
the number of soldiers in each company and its expe-
rience level. You can visit any company by clicking the
“Go to Company” button. You can also issue a com-
mand for a company to return to its fort or to make it
available for Kingdom service and to dispatch them.
At the bottom of the screen is an update of military
activity in Egypt. If any enemies are approaching the
city by land or if Pharaoh or another city has request-
ed your army’s aid, it is reported here.
The navy status report provides similar information. It

You will likely encounter several different enemies
while directing your dynasty to glory. Foreign ene-
mies in
Pharaoh include:
Nubians
Kushites
Hittites
Hyksos
Libyans
Sea People
Canaanites
Bedouin
Mitanni
Civil wars may erupt during periods of unrest, and
sometimes you may find yourself at war with your fel-
low Egyptians.
The military also helps to protect your city against
attack from dangerous, predatory animals. Soldiers
and sentries will kill predators when their paths cross. If
left to run rampant, predators can decimate a city’s
population. Keep a watchful eye out for hyenas, croc-
odiles and hippopotamuses.
