Mission | Potential | Requirements | Effects | Time | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A Royal Capital |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Alexander founded Alexandria as a beacon of Greek civilization in Egyptian land. It is our duty to realize his dream and transform the city into a capital worthy of pharaohs and gods. | |
The Cleruchs |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Since Alexander's days, more and more Greeks and Macedonians have been employed long-term in the Successors' armies far away from their countries of origins. A plot of land in the new country where they spent most of their lives is a good solution for the needs of our veterans. | |
Entryway of the Mediterranean |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The Delta of the Nile is where the Egyptian inland meets the Greek Mediterranean. It is vital to our economy that we transform this area into a platform for our international trade, starting from the ports surrounding Alexandria. | ||
Gifts of the Nile |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The Egyptian civilization was built on the regular floodings of the Nile, which made the land fertile. However, much can be done to improve the food production of this land. | |
The City of Sages |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
180 days |
One day, Alexandria will be the cultural capital of the world! This is the first step: making her an attractive destination for Greek intellectuals from all over our kingdom. | |
The City of Bureaucracy |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
365 days |
A huge bureaucratic system is required to make a country like [GetCountry('EGY').GetName] work. Reforming our administration would make the system more efficient and less wasteful. | |
The Center of World Trade |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The Delta is where Egyptian and Mediterranean goods and traders meet. Alexandria is its beating heart, but there are other ports and cities that could be developed to enhance our trade potential. | |
Nilotic Trade |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The Macedonian origin and Mediterranean interests of [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetName] oriented our attention mainly to the Delta. However, a Pharaoh is King of both Lower and Upper Egypt, and the border with Nubia has always been an area of particular commercial (and military) interest for Egypt. | |
The City of Gods |
|
|
When the task is started: When the task is complete:
|
180 days |
Piety is a staple of our country. We shall celebrate our gods and, in particular, the founder of our kingdom, Alexander. | |
The City of Wonders |
|
|
When the task is complete: |

To fill the hearts of both our subjects and enemies with awe, we shall build a wonder in Alexandria to last the ages! | |
Ptolemaia Festival |

|
When the task is complete: Trigger the Ptolemais Festival event |
Instant |
We should celebrate the glorious heritage left by Ptolemaios I to our country with a festival to rival the Olympic Games! | |
Syncretism |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
The religious differences between our Macedonian rulers and the vast majority of the Egyptian people have always been a problem for our kingdom. We should consider a solution to bring our people together. | |
Apotheosis |

Mission treeEdit
Mission | Potential | Requirements | Effects | Time | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Red Sea Ventures |
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
The Red Sea: few Greeks have ever sailed it, but the riches coming through it from the wondrous lands of Arabia and India are renowned and desired everywhere. Expanding our ports is the first step to monopolize the commerce flowing towards the Mediterranean. | ||
Trade Stations |
|
The following will bypass the task:
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Having a friendly relationship with the people in control of the key areas of the Persian Gulf is an important step to ensure our commercial power in the area. We should also secure a safe emporion for ourselves. | |
Brave Navigators |
|
An event will requires a choice to be made:
|
When the task is complete:
If Eudoxos was sent to explore the Red Sea: |
545 days |
Traders from faraway lands come to us through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, but many of these lands are nothing more than legends to us. Alexander has taught us that the only limit is our willingness to travel to the very end of the world, and explorers and intellectuals from our court have been aching to go where no Greek has gone before. | |
Land of Ebony |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The relations between Egypt and Nubia date back to remote ages and have always been turbulent. It is time to pacify the area and assert our domain. | |
Elephant Trade |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The people of Africa have long traded in ivory, but Alexander's wars in India have taught us that elephants are also a formidable weapon, one that we can't allow our rivals to monopolize. | |
Sicilian Ventures |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
The Western Mediterranean, unconquered by Alexander, has mostly remained outside the sphere of influence of his Successors. Setting up our local presence could be the first step to gaining access to new lands and riches. | |
The People of Cyrenaica |
|
|
Instant |
Egyptian relations with their Western neighbor have always been problematic; now that a Hellenic pharaoh sits on the throne, it is time to take these astray Greeks under our protection. | ||
The Cyrenaican Matter |
|
|
|
Instant |
Cyrenaica is a constant source of worry for us. It is time it officially becomes a part of our kingdom. | |
Iron Fist |
|
|
Instant |
We cannot trust the Cyrenaicans - they have betrayed us too many times before. We shall deal with them with an iron fist and make sure that they never defy us again. | ||
Integration |
|
|
Instant |
The Cyrenaicans are Greeks like us and are our closest neighbors. We should create the preconditions for mutual trust. | ||
Western Trade |
|
The following will bypass the task:
|
Instant |
Our main interests are located in the Eastern Mediterranean. Ensuring a peaceful coexistence with our most powerful Western neighbor will greatly benefit our trade and the security of our borders. | ||
King of the Western Seas |
|
|
|
Instant |
The Western Mediterranean is weak, chaotic and fragmented. We should take the opportunity to pursue our trade interests aggressively and seize some conveniently placed ports. The waves shall be our kingdom and the roots of our power. | |
Western Greeks |
|
|
|
Instant |
A single trading post is not enough for us - not when our Greek brothers and sisters live under the constant menace of barbarian conquest by both land and sea! | |
Ruler of Africa |

Mission treeEdit
Mission | Potential | Requirements | Effects | Time | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The King of Sidonians |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Sidon is a fundamental part of our plan of Eastern conquests. By installing a subject monarchy, we shall ensure our control of her great port and famous cedars. | |
Phoenician Sailors |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The Phoenicians are renowned for their ships and seafaring talents. By controlling the main Phoenician ports, we are bound to get an advantage on our adversaries for the dominion on the Mediterranean. | |
Border Safety |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Philistia is, historically, a highly contested area. Asserting our dominion over her cities and fortresses would grant us a steadier stepping stone for our Eastern conquests. | ||
The Judean Matter |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
In our expansion to the North, the Jewish kingdoms might be useful allies - and subjects - against the other Diadochi, but it might be easier and safer for us to assume direct control of the area. | |
Docks of Purple |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The coastal cities of Phoenicia host some of the largest and richest trade harbors in the Mediterranean. If we support their growth and trade, they will give our economy and naval power a considerable boost. | |
The Antigonid Enemy |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
When Antigonos was at the peak of his power in Syria, his son Demetrios led an army against [GetCountry('EGY').GetName], and he was barely repelled before he marched on Alexandria. As an act of symbolic revenge for this dishonor, we shall now conquer Antigonos' historical capital, Antigoneia! | |
Telmessos |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Telmessos is the richest port in Lycia. By controlling the city, we shall ensure a strong position for our troops and fleets in the heart of Asia Minor, while keeping an interested eye on the Aegean Sea. | |
Cilician Traders |
|
The following will bypass the task:
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The fame of Cilician pirates has long obscured any Cilician good quality. Once we control the area, we should root out all pirates and re-address the Cilicians' traditional sailing proficiency towards trade. | |
Cilician Pirates |
|
The following will bypass the task:
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Cilician pirates have been the scourge of any power sailing the Eastern Mediterranean - including ourselves. It should be clear by now that piracy can't be eradicated from this area; if you cannot defeat them, you might as well make them your friends. | |
Northern Docks |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Pamphylia is a highly contested area thanks to her fertile plains, rich woods and, in particular, her ancient port of Side. Our focus on the Eastern Mediterranean requires us to control this area to ensure a safe crossing from Alexandria in the South to our Northern dominions. | |
The Greeks of Asia |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Ionia and Aeolia host some of the most ancient and richest Greek colonies. They also represent a natural point of access to the Aegean Sea that we need to control. | |
Thracian Menace |
|
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Our expansion along the coasts of Asia has brought us to the gates of Thrace. If we manage to set up some strong bases in Europe, our position in the Aegean Sea will be considerably more solid. | |
Judea Pacified |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
The lands of the Hebrews are renowned for being turbulent. We can't afford to leave a potentially rebellious area immediately behind our advancing border in the East, so we need to ensure their loyalty before moving on with our conquests. | |
Coastal Dominion |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Our advance along the coasts of the Mediterranean has been unstoppable, just like Alexander's. Our rivals, the other Successors, are a tougher adversary than the Persians, though, and our dream of a reunited empire of Alexander is still far - albeit a step closer today. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Alexandrian Shipyards |
|

Safe Routes |
|
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
For too long have pirates plagued the Nile and all Egyptian coasts. It is time to ensure the safety of travelers and merchants. | |
The League of the Islanders |
|
|
When the task is complete:

The Aegean Islands have suffered from the menaces coming from Asia, Thrace, and Macedonia for too long. It is time for them to find peace under our benevolent rule! | |
Naval Power |

To dominate the sea, we need an adequate fleet! | |
Protector of the Aegean Sea |
Always |

Asian Harbors |
Always |

Imposing our control over the main islands of the Eastern Mediterranean and some ports in Asia Minor will considerably strengthen our power in the area and support the movements of our fleets. | |
A Greek Foothold |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Since Alexander's death, Greece has been in turmoil. Athens, impoverished and disappointed by one overlord after the other, now looks to us as her new savior. | |
The Matter of Rhodes |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
365 days |
Rhodes has always had close ties with Egypt, but her position, in an area long contended among the Diadochi, has left the island in a delicate situation. The Rhodians resisted strenuously to Demetrios' siege some years ago, and the ensuing peace treaty ensured their neutrality. However, if we do not want to lose such a formidable base, we need to act first and formalize our relationship with Rhodes as soon as possible. We should send an embassy offering our protection. | |
Cyprian Docks |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
365 days |
For centuries, Cyprus has been the melting pot where Greek culture met the East and Egypt, where gods were born, and trade goods were encountered for the first time. \nCyprus and her glorious past are under our influence now, but, if we want to make her a vital center of our economy, we will need to invest in her infrastructures. | |
Asian League |
Always |
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
Controlling Caria is an important step to ensure our dominion over the Aegean Sea. However, Caria's inland expanses and her position at the faraway borders of our empire may present a challenge to our power. | |
A New Hellenic League |
Always |
|
When the task is complete:
|
Instant |
After Alexander's death, Greece has become fragmented and weak, each city trying to please now a Macedonian overlord, now another. It is time for a Liberator to unify Greece once again and to offer the Greek people a taste of (well-controlled) freedom. | |
Greek Strongholds |
Always |
The following will bypass the task:
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
Establishing our protection over Athens has secured her ports for us. However, Athens is too isolated, and our position in the area is far from safe. We need to extend our control over the Saronic Gulf and fortify our position there. | |
The Chremonidean War |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
For the freedom of all Greeks, it is time for us to expel all the (other) Diadochi from Greece! | |
Alexander's Throne |
Always |
|

Lord of the Mediterranean |
Always |
|
When the task is complete: |
Instant |
[ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetName] now is the only and undisputed ruler of all Eastern Mediterranean! |
