It's a pretty effective and cheap army composition, IMO. The chariots are the shock troops, the phalanx protect (to some extent) the skirmishers, the skirmishers pepper away at the enemy, the peasants absorb charges and missile fire. I hate fighting Egypt because of this, but I have to acknowledge that it's darn effective.
