Egyptians
Sorry for my English.
i EU there are Ptolemaioi with greek like units. In the original ROME there Egypt. As far as i know Egypt was conquered by persians, and after Alexanders wars there are new Pharaoh in there - Ptolemaios. The new Egypt in EB have greek like army.
But in Rome there are different units. I want to know why. Is there a mistake of Creators of Rome TW, or in the EB is EARLY egyptians warriors(greek like), and in ROME there are late egyptians????

Bascially R:TW got it very, very, very wrong.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Egyptians
RTW represented a pre-persion Egypt, New kingdom I think but don't quote me, while EB strives to accurately represent the hellenistic kingdom of Ptolmaios. You ask any Greek civ. professor and they will gladly tell you that Egypt was a greek nation from the time Alexander annexed it to when the Romans conquered it in 30BC.
Re: Egyptians
They weren't a Greek nation, they were simply the old Egyptians under the occupation of a tiny Hellenic minority. The Egyptian culture remained mostly the same.that Egypt was a greek nation
I know what you meant, just nitpicking

The best choose one thing in exchange for all, everflowing fame among mortals; but the majority are satisfied with just feasting like beasts.
Re: Egyptians
Variety? I don't think so. They would have spent more time on making the barbarians varied, instead of just changing the color of their pants if they wanted variety...

Re: Egyptians
CA were merely trying to add another kind of civilization, they had Barbs/Rome/Greek and Eastern, and wanted one more. So they put in the Mummy Returns (lol why do we always call them that, why not The Mummy, which is a better film :P) for variety in terms of civilizations, presumably to introduce more replayability.
Obviously, this was a totally stupid idea and not neccessary. But I understand where they were coming from
