+*Egyptian Chariots: Charioteers that engage in hand-to-hand combat.
-===Strategy guides===
-First of all, there is the threat from the [[Seleucid Empire (RTW Faction)|Seleucid Empire]] to the north east. They are a big empire, very capable of causing problems. A possible tactic is to attack them very fast (at turn 2-3) and take Antioch and then expand at your own will. Once Antioch is taken, Seleucid resistance crumbles. It's generally best to take on the Seleucids early as their early game units are inferior to yours, but their late game units are quite strong. However, a second possible tactic is to make an alliance with the [[Seleucid Empire (RTW Faction)|Seleucid Empire]] and while it lasts make a big army in your border cities to counter their betrayal when it happens, as it undoubtedly will at some stage.
