Then the question is if it was quality troops in that Egyptian army. You play unmodded? I ask, because the Egypts has the heaviest tendency of peasant spamming of all factions unmodded.
Getting the comp to face your elite troops can be quite annoying.

They rout entirely from a province occationally if the comp judge that he can't re-conquer the province.

Nothing to do with the generals dread.

You mean they actually saw the enemy before routing? I mean I was pleasantly surpriced when I my -5 morale troops deared to charge uphill vs a superior army, without routing of the initial charge.

That they then got massacrated and routed seconds later, due to massive losses is another matter.
