Service in the Egyptian army was neither pleasant nor safe, especially at the very beginning of the military career. The risk of death or permanent bodily injury was part of the soldier's profession, however, the army offered a chance to achieve prestige and numerous honors. Each recruit started at school, where he learned to fight with various types of weapons and assimilated the rules of tough, strict discipline. The training lasted several years and required both physical and mental stamina from the volunteer.

Depending on the position in the army, soldiers were awarded for their bravery on the battlefield - starting with the lowest rank - a private soldier and a decoration with a golden fly, the symbol of valor and courage. Higher ranks were awarded gold, they also received some spoils, cattle, or slaves. An officer could receive a hereditary fief as a reward for his merits, which after his death was passed on to the eldest son when he also served in the army under the command of the same sovereign. The most meritorious in the fight was rewarded personally by the pharaoh himself, which was an incredible honor for every Egyptian. For those wishing to pursue higher officer ranks, the scribes’ school was a necessary step into their careers. The candidate for the officer also had to demonstrate high personal manners. The position that opened the most paths to promotion and enrichment was an officer in a combat vehicles unit. A career in the military offered many interesting opportunities for promotion.
Along with the expansion of the military hierarchy, the caste of the military aristocracy developed.

In addition to the army, Egypt also had a police force that included many Nubians. Police officials had a wide range of responsibilities. They dealt with collecting taxes, controlling the weight of the goods sold - forgery was severely punished. The police were also responsible for prosecuting escaped slaves, thieves, criminals, and criminals of all kinds (which we mentioned briefly in Devblog #30). The protocols drawn up by her were forwarded to the courts. The officers of the Egyptian police had judicial powers. There was also a desert police force. The officials belonging to it must have had an excellent knowledge of orientation in the field. They kept order in the desert areas, provided protection for caravans traveling through them, and followed the movements of nomads. They also organized hunting and helped in finding new routes to the mines. When the escaping criminal crossed the city limits and found himself outside the city border, the desert police took over the task of finding and capturing him.

In Builders of Egypt, you will have the opportunity to train your citizens to become warriors and archers. The building where training is carried out is the Fortress (which we've showed you in the previous Devblog). The Academy, on the other hand, is used to increase the combat experience of your Egyptian warriors and archers, in other words, it makes your army more skilled. It's not a necessary structure, but it's highly recommended and extremely useful. In order to work properly, Academy needs a steady supply of weapons.
Hope you enjoyed our latest blog with a bit of historical context! Looking forward to your thoughts about today's introduction! Feel free to share them with us in the comments below, at Discord, or on Reddit!
