dont forget two of the egyptian homeland citys have ports into the red sea....which leads to Nowhere lol

in my opinion the egyptians military units are kinda weak...and i played As them....but the Slingers rock
Yup, Chariot archers are there to harass and run from a distance.. i would not charge them into anything. Also Nubian spearmen rout WAY too easily.. Nile spearmen are slightly more hardened.

Get Axemen, upgrade to bowmen, Pharoah's bowmen are better.. use a few spearmen to defend bowmen and pepper.. pepper.. pepper away. Use the Axeman as your main assault unit once your Phalanx's tie up their infantry.. slaughter time.

The problem I am having is that the Selecuid chariots are wayyyy to powerful. They blow right into my frontline of Nile Spearmen and rout them.. I do not understand how horses and run straight into a Phalanx and survive???
