Strategy

Prologue

You are starting here in a odd position. Though the people of Ancient Egypt were driven by the invaders such as Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. But you are only known successor of Ancient Egypt. But it is time for you to restore the dignity of Ancient Egypt. But you border to the powerful country in the north known as Rome. It is advised not to attack them. Maybe you should wait for them to crumble. But first. You will have to deal your rivals such as Aksum.

Opening Strategy

Build up to your army force limit, ally with Himyar, and fabricate claims on Aksum and Blemmyes. Then proceed to annex the Blemmyes, they are weak and will have no allies. After that, declare war against Aksum until you defeat their army. Proceed to fully siege and subsequently annex the entire country. Afterwards. Raise the local autonomy in the province that you conquered. Expansion into the Arabian Peninsula should then follow.

Expansion into Arabia

While you wait for the Rome to crumble. Build up your Navies to a Force limit. And then break the alliance with Himyar and start building Spy Networks against them. Afterwards. Fabricate claim on the Himyarite province. one will be enough. Declare war on Himyar, but careful though since most of Yemeni Province are mountainous. Make sure not to attack the enemy armies in the mountain province. Once you defeated Himyar, annex their province through a peace deal, and then raise the local autonomy in the province you conquered and wait for the core to be finished. Your next target will be Masqat and Thamud (it doesn't matter which order you annex the in).

Late game

Eventually, Rome will begin to crumble. When they are, declare war and take the provinces required to form Egypt, thus reclaiming the ancient Egyptian legacy and land for the Egyptian religion. if Egypt breaks free of Roman control. It will be your next obstacle of forming Egypt itself. as long as Egypt itself exist. you won't be able to form Egypt. your next target will be Egypt. starting building a Spy Network against them. and fabricate claims on Egyptian provinces. once the last of Egyptian province is annexed. you will be able to form Egypt once more. Upon reclaiming Cairo, an event will fire called The Conquest of Memphis that allows you to adopt the Egyptian culture and move your capital to Cairo or refuse to gain +1 Stability instead (always go with the first choice). Once Egypt has been formed, you will then get a permanent claim on the entire Egyptian region.

Religion

Your primary religion is Egyptian. Most of Nubia is Egyptian, meanwhile the southern provinces you own are Fetishist (including your capital). You will need to enact the religious policy to begin converting the Fetishist provinces to your religion. Once you conquered the province from Aksum and Himyar. you will most likely have South Arabian provinces most in Ethiopia and Arabia. Should be easier to convert than the one like Fetishist provinces. since South Arabian provinces have +2% Local Missionary Strength.

Culture

Your primary culture is Nubian, and in the region of Nubia, most of the province are Nubian culture. However, as soon as you conquer Memphis (361), you will get the event Conquest of Memphis which will allow you to change your primary culture to Old Egyptian (Kemetic) or refuse and gain +1 Stability instead.
