Militia Hoplites can hold their own against Nubian Spear, but you need to get to Levy Pike and then Phalanx Pike ASAP. Once you get to the Phalanx Pike the tide begins to turn. Forget about Ellies until you can field Armored Elephants. Once that happens, Egyptian infantry won't hold up. When you begin to field Cataphracts, Companians, and Silver Shield Pike....well everyone in the Middle East can put their heads between their legs and kiss their a$$ goodbye
Yeah thanks for that, And who should i go for first? Egypt or Parthia? They are both annoying af... And What does that formation with cavalry do i think its called Wedge or something... Most of the cavalary does have that ability?? And what is it used for?
