    as monk said attack all sides
    train well balanced armies with enough archers
    if youre a good defender lure them in attacking you
    if youre a good attacker, attack them on grounds where you have advantage.
    block their harbors and take their large cities as fast as possible this way youll destroy their economy and also their ability to train large and quality armies

    We do not sow.

    Well when the fighting is tough for me, I start taking cities that does not have a large stack nearby sack it throw in a garrison.

    After weakening them then I start taking on there full stacks. Egypt has 1 huge advantage in this game, they can always win a war of attririon, that's why you need to avoid large stacks until you've taken enough cities to hurt there treasury.

    @scorillo, you have much patience. I only completely conquered the world once and that was with the Greek Cities in 248 BC.

    It loses its flavor eventually as it's more or less just a logistics nightmare in the endgame with organizing 10+ armies around and shipping governors/generals towards the front.
