I fought plenty of bridge battles, Egyptians just love attacking my armies no matter were they are, and so I fought a lot on the bridge outside Alexandria, were I send my armies for easy victories when attacking Egypt.

Also the hills matter a lot, I have never lost a defensive battle fought on a hill, the enemy army is always tired when it gets to me, and the archers are extra effective thanks to that, and the cavalry are all the more devastating.
