Intro[]
The final battle is joined in the Valley of Shadows, as Ramesses, Hatshepsut and Thutmose strike at the heart of Set.
Intro[]
The Valley of Shadows
Setekh: Lord of the Desert, Father of Chaos... they have driven us back.
Set: You are weaker and smaller than the lowliest insect, Setekh.
Setekh: No lord...! We have brought havoc to the Nile kingdoms. We have destroyed many settlements!
Set: And yet Ramesses himself is again at my door. You have failed me, slave.
Setekh: No! I will yet have my revenge. I swear it!
Ramesses: Again, I bring my might to bear against the Valley of Shadows! Again, the Light of Ra shall guide my arm!
Hatshepsut: And for the majesty of Isis!
Thutmose: Glory! Glory and blood for the upper and lower kingdoms.
Ramesses: The kings of the ages stand together to fight for order and progress. Set, even you cannot stand before our combined might.
Set: Just words, dead king. Feel the wrath of Set.
Oracle: Settlements like this one can support a new Town Center. Initially, you may only have one Town Center. Each time you Age Up, you may build an additional Town Center.

Outro[]
Setekh: No! My wrath burns too strong to be defeated again!
Ramesses: You are finished, Setekh. Again, I send you into oblivion with naught but a shrug.
Hatshepsut: Is it finished? Is Set's army defeated?
Thutmose: Routed and destroyed to the last, I have no doubt.
Ramesses: And so I must return to the Land of the Dead. Anubis will not allow me to delay. This shall be my last hour in the sun.
Hatshepsut: Thank you, Ramesses. Without you all would have been lost.
Ramesses: Rule in justice and prosperity, Queen of Egypt. Farewell.
And so the sun burns bright over the Kingdom of Egypt, and its heroes ride to Thebes triumphant once again.
With Set's avatar defeated, the people of Egypt no longer need Ramesses. Saying his farewell, he returns to the Land of the Dead, leaving Hatshepsut and Thutmose to rule once more. Ra's light has once again prevailed over the darkness, and let great civilization of Egypt enjoys another sunset.
Trivia[]
- This is the only scenario of the campaign where the player can't choose Horus to advance in age.
- This is most likely the intentional, to prevent the player from being able to use their special power on the enemy citadel.
