Excellent breakdown. I'm using much of this in current Egypt campaign, works well.

Just wanted to throw out there an Egypt-specific wrinkle. Most of the buildlings, including military, are the same as other Hellenistic factions. Egypt's temple set, however, is quite different.

The "military temple" is the Horus line, and does not offer the same bonuses as the typical Ares temples. Horus provides an equipment bonus instead: weapon level. At first I was non-plussed by this, until I realized it meant one does not have to build the Blacksmith line. Instead of having to deal with -10 public order for the top Blacksmith, one gets positive public order from the Horus temple (+6 at Lvl IV). In addition, there's no reason to stack; one Horus temple is enough. Frees up other slots in the province for other uses. So Egypt's military temple all by itself is kinda ho-hum, but its synergy within a military-production province is quite powerful.
