Hints 4 destroying Ptolemaic Empire/Egypt

[magnum]

I've said it before in other threads, but don't make Hannibals mistake. Its the cities that count.

You can win all the battles you want in the field but if you don't take the cities you're gonna lose in the end. Add Onagers to a few armies and land them next to cities. You can avoid a siege that way and immediatly attack the city before Egypt can react. As you take cities you can also whittle down their armies if you want. But if you don't take the cities, they'll simply rebuild whatever you destroy in the field on their next turn.

But u gotta know what was said about Hannibal " Hannibal Knew how to gain Victory but didnt know how to use it."

I suggest you make a beeline for their core cities. Alexandria, Mephis, and whatever the others are. Split their empire in half and then weather whatever they throw at the newly conquered cities. Once thats done, you should be able to begin taking the rest of their cities. Those cities are the major production/trade/etc.. centers for Egypt. It also has the pyramids, which will help greatly in your conquest. Thats how I did it when I played Scipii, I landed three armies on the shores(2 assault armies, 1 balanced defense army). Took citys with my assault armies while using the balanced army to defend while they advanced, worked pretty well.
