In our history, Octavian won the battle, and went on to become Rome's first emperor. The win condition is a victory by the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra. However, the game does revisit alternate history, as the very last mission in the game is the Battle of Actium. From then on, every Pharaoh is historical. The Cleopatra expansion quietly retcons the notion of a single dynasty holding Egypt for half a millennium, and the first mission has you building a tomb - the very first tomb - in the Valley of the Kings for Thutmose I, Ahmose's grandson from the historical Eighteenth Dynasty.
