    I'm loving Cretan (sp?) Archers. I had a line of Pricipes and Hastati in one battle, with three units ot these archers behind them, two ranks deep. The enemy army was about a 800 strong, and so was mine (ish). Their army never made melee contact with mine-the archers routed them. It was like a musket line in Shogun-they routed, rallied, moved back at my army again, routed, and so on. After the third rout they didn't come back-my cavalry charged after them and killed the remainder.

    Final kills: 800 to 15. My 15 came partly from friendly fire (I had one unit of archers far too close to my Hastati) and a couple from casulties in the cavalry when they chased down the routers.

    I love those archers, man. Huge range, too.

    I won't be original, but the Egyptian forces as a whole are overpowered.
    Not only are they VERY good at fight, but above all, they are dirt cheap. Really DIRT CHEAP. Just look at the prices of the chariots, bowmen, spearmen and axemen.
    If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.
