My Notes: *I agree with Alandil in that a focus on the New Kingdom and Late Period would work well. *During the 25th dynasty, most of Egypt's troops were Lydian and Hellenic mercenaries. In earlier times, they used Lybian and Nubian mercenaries to lesser degrees. *If I were to chose the heroes, I would pick Zhehutimis III (Thutmose), the most prolific conqueror, Psamtik I, who reclaimed Egypt from both the Assyrians and Nubians, and either Ramessu III, who fought off the Philistines or Sea Peoples, or Amasis II, who was a general who seized the throne for himself, and cultivated relations with many Hellenes including Polycrates of Samos, and battled Nebuchadrezzer. Narmer is before the suggested time period, I've never heard of Hatshepsut going to war, and I see Ramessu II as more of a propagandist than a commander. *At the 'Battle of the Delta' Ramessu III used shore stationed archers against the Philistine ships to great effect. Make of that what you will.
