3. Preview: Egypt
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
To represent this we will have a regular Egypt faction, the 22. DynastyThe 22nd dynasty of Egypt were Meshwesh Libyans who began their rule in 943 BC. The dynasty's Libyan leaders kept their foreign names and identity, but otherwise they did not seperate themselves from Egyptian culture. They adjusted themselves to Egyptian royal traditions, and sought legitimacy from the predominantly Egyptian population.
Their administration was militaristic, as opposed to bureaucratic. Provincial governors were military commanders, fortresses were built around all major settlements, administering what came close to being feudalistic structures. During this dynasty, there was far less importance placed upon the position of the king. The understanding of the king had changed. The administrative structures resulted in rural areas and deserts being out of effective royal control.
For almost 70 years, Upper and Lower Egypt were a united country. But during the reign of Osorkon II, Thebes gained independence for a period of 10 years. In 860 BC, the High Priest of Amon at Thebes, Harsiese, declared himself king.
During the reign of the next king, Takelot II, civil war broke out in Thebes. In 818 BC, Pedubastis I declared his dominions in Upper Egypt independent, thereby beginning what is called the 23rd dynasty...

After the Rebellous Dynasty is destroyed, it is also used as shadow faction.
