The Judaeans have the Power of Liberty.
An old nation made new, the fledgling kingdom of Judaea lays claim to a storied past from almost a thousand years before, yet the roots of its modern existence are far newer: its leaders, a clan of Jewish priests known as the Hasmoneans, have seized power through years of brutal guerilla warfare against the Seleucids with the abetment of the Egyptians nd the Romans. Since then, the new Jewish state of Hasmonean Judaea has emerged as a new power broker in a region riven by conflict — and at present peace, tenuous as it is, now reigns in Israel once more.
But there are problems of a timeless nature that still remain for the people of this old land, now reconstituted into a new nation. The Egyptians and Romans, allies of the Judaeans, are slipping into decline, fuelling whispers of civil war in Israel itself, already burdened by strife between the hardline Jewish population and the government they once helped to prop up and sustain through those bloody years of war — abetted by none other than the old enemy, the Seleucid Greeks of Syria. Worse still, the heathen Arabs of Nabataea on Israel's southern border, rich in coin and trade, are now using their wealth to stir up further tensions between the two factions in Judaea.
The Judaeans are based of Carthage, and form a single one-army faction in the eponymous territory of Judaea. They are depicted as allies of the Egyptians.
