As for anvies, build a military wharf in ALexandria and a shipwright somewhere on the Red Sea. The advice above about using Nabatea to build units is sound. Bring slingers, many slingers, cavalry, and Galatians for swift sword work. Oh, and don't march into the Arabian desert with phalanx armies, you will have your own Carrhae. You are the brainy faction, and not building the Great Library of Alexandria sooner or later is simply a sin against history.Īlso, tech up a bit, your Egyptian infantry will do for a couple of very early unit spam victories, but will rout at the mere sight of a hostile Nubian or Hellene. Whatever you do, scout and trade, you are the only faction that can trade on two ocans from the start. They all get a substantial money buff (at least for now) which makes them a right pain if they stab you in the back first.
Wait till you have dignitaries for cultural conversion and decent medium tier troops and then launch hard, ruthless strikes against the desert nations. through Arab lands or via the Indian Ocean into Mesopotamia before you take on the Seleucid Syrian heartlands).Ĭonversely, if you are finding it hard, finish your first war quickly and then develop for a while. This will also make your expansion otherwise more challenging and strategic in nature (e.g. If you rush that victoy your campaign will indeed be missing its essential ingredient. If you find it all too easy then rather than avoiding war with the grey blob, make sure that conflict with the Seleucids happens but try to only fight it defensively around Jerusalem and on the high seas. By turn 100 I was rolling on 15k/ turn with 6 full armies on the field. Royal peltasts outclass even late tier infantry. Tech unitil you can get royal peltasts with citizen cavalry.
You cant go wrong with most unit combos because most of their units are decent, but of course specialize your armies, dont just throw random units. Conquer the province where jerusalem is at and make it your military powerhouse. If no one else has declared war on you, expand south, then east.Įgypt's roster is varied and balanced. Do not rely on initial egyptian infantry, you will lose all your battles with it, I suggest slingers instead. Try to establish as much trade as you can for a steady income (this applies to all playable factions). Then send out two single ship fleets to encounter all factions around the mediterrean all the way to north europe. Start by conquering to the west your initial default enemies. Just finished an egypt campaign on vh myself.
