rome vs egypt

[derF]

Ive just started to fight against them and they ARE tricky indeed.

Theyre quick and potent. A phalanx seems to immobile to swivel and face them in time for their charge. Theyre very good marksmen. A caviltry charge against them will be successful but only with heavy losses. Same goes for infantry. Maybe, its one of those units you just have to sacrifice troops to get rid of.

They make large targets, perhaps onagers are the most effective against them.

The Onager/Archer combo works very well.
Far too well in fact, makes for a boring game, so I just use 'typical' armies consisting of 60 % legions, 30% auxilia, 10% cavalry
