I leave the Egyptians alone until the Marius reforms kick in, and then blockade them and starve them before a serious attack.

Re: Got to love this game... as Egypt atleast
right now my brother is mopping the floor with the Eggy's - he just fought a full stack battle with them and his Scipii army. Everything was over after the enemy General flung himself into the Phalanx Mercs and died - the rest of his army fled soon after they made contact with his army. It was a nice battle to watch except that it was over in 10 seconds after initial contact,.... They lost 1068 troops.... he lost under 200 troops....

I was unimpressed when I fought the Egyptians. I only saw two large stacks, one of which threw itself away when it attack across the Nile. Takin the cities was easy too. Just seiged until they surrendered. Then again, I was the Selucids and the war started no more than 10 turns into the game.

Egyptians look interesting, but I refuse to play as them because of the ridiculous headresses. The nubians are pretty cool, though.
The Egyptians are the most aggresive AI faction i've seen, besides the Romans. If you go near them, you must be prepared to fight.

Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

The Eggys are not that hard to defeat in battle. The problem is that there are so many of them! Even if you lose 200-500 men each battle soon your army will be wasted because of the shear number of battles you have to fight.
As Carthage I have been at war with them for about 20 years now. Unfortunately for the first 10 years I couldn't do much as I was Crushing the Spaninsh and Julii that had moved into Osca. I was also rampaging Italy, The Scipii and Senate are Dead, Bruti starting cities captured and slowly moving up Italy. I then turned to Egypt and started hammering them. I captured all their african provinces and was then pushed out so I attacked again, Destroyed their buildings and retreated. Now they only have armies of peasants and I am slowing moving up to antioch
