Ascending the pyramid of power.
A certain chain-smoking grizzled video game hero once said"War's always changing," and rarely is that more evident than in the strategy games of Creative Assembly. Where Total War campaigns used to be defined by your exploits on the battlefield, the developer has been adding systems over the years to reflect how power can be wrangled by more underhand means.
Not too deep into your campaign, you'll unlock the Royal Court, where you'll see which leader commands which position, as well as the hierarchy of power leading up to Pharaoh. To claim an occupied court position, you'll need to initiate plots to Threaten or even Assassinate whoever's occupying it. For this to succeed, you may need to persuade other courtiers to support your plot, but the more co-conspirators you have, the more likely you are to get caught. The higher your target's legitimacy, the harder it'll be to take their position, so you may want to shoot for court positions held by those with lower legitimacy than you .
This is managed through the Power of the Crown screen, where you'll see the current legitimacy levels of other factions, the incumbent pharaoh, and the option to start a civil war. A nice touch here is that when you join a Civil War, you get to pick what headgear to wear. Each headgear, which you find on your conquests, grants you a different bonus, and there are different rarity levels for the gear too. Crucially you get to flaunt that Egyptian swag as you can see the headgear equipped on your leader screen and in battle.
