Ah thanks a load lars

here are the egypt pics as i promised (i'll put up the russians and prussians later on). well kinda unit pics

Tauregs, they have the strongest attack in the game, 2 of them are seen here routing a unit of musketeers:

Light cavalry just recently raided a village and routing another unit of musketeers, Light Cavalry use pistols, which have terrible range, but it allows them to shoot twice, good when you charge them and order them to shoot:

Janissaries, Archers and Yataghans:

Janissaries are the light infantry of Egypt:

Archers are Egypts "grenadier" seeing as how they are the only foot unit thats able to destroy buildings (besides artillery), they also have a decent melee attack, but their low health makes them not that great in hand to hand.

Yataghans are one of the 2 melee only units in the game, the other one is the Homeguard for russia, both are pretty similiar in stats and functions:

Bedouins preparing to raid a village, they are the only egyptian cavalry that carry a carbine rifle:

Mamelukes, one of the three best heavy cavalry in the game, only preceded by Mounted Guards and Black Sea Cossacks, they also use double-shot pistol like the light cavalry:

Thats about it for egypts combat units. I'll try and get me Russian or Prussian unit screens soon.

What really bug me about Egyptian archers are that they can only use column formation.

**Leet Eriksson** · 05-26-2005, 11:21

I think its becuase they use arrows, they do not lose their lethality with range, so its kinda pointless to put them in different formations. Oh yeah and they are tireless, so you can rapidly deploy them anywhere.

Must say that the Egyptians look interesting. Different units and style... Like it... Like it a lot.

Anyway, I take it that the number just below the picture means the HP. So I wonder why you would consider the archers so weak while the Tuaregs are even weaker.

The number below the picture in the unit card is their morale level. HP doesn't really enter into the game much.

**Leet Eriksson** · 05-26-2005, 18:42

yeah as lars said, its the morale, you'll notice a small tab in the units picture called info, if you click it, it displays the units stats and some historical snippets.

The tuaregs HP is 100, compared to the archers hp which is 60.
