Why can't more factions be like Egypt?

eh maybe they didn't but i did. but i thought egyptian and seleucids chariots are deleted.

they get their good units relativly late in the game. so they rely on levíes almost all the way. egyptians and other eastern factions get good units faster.

in my RTR campaign they controlled spain and north-west AFRICA

Your right to a point. If the Seleucid can make it 10 to 15 years they should be able to start making the goodies that they have and than start kicking major butt! I was able to by than and than the game got really fun. I was wondering has anyone given them more money at the start to see if that would help them? I would love to put my Macedon stacks ver there adv. stacks. That would be fun

well in vannilla their money is cut from 5000 to 3000. but in RTR it's raised from 3000 to 9000. i don't know if it helps but i think it will expands their lifespan.
