For IA battles between Byz and Egyptians, my experience is that the outcome is greatly influenced by whether or not the Byz are able to ship troops across the Blakc Sea. If they can, they usually do well. I greatly prefer the Egyptians to be successful cause I kind of find them easier to beat than the Byz who can get almost unstoppable once they have grabbed the steppes and the entire Middle East

Of course, it all depends on which faction is managed by the player. If yiou select the Turks, one can hope that the Byz and Egyptians will not do too well ...

Yes one can only hope the eggys or the byz dont ahaniallate you turkish force with a surprise attack and you lose.
