Egypt in M2TW are a Muslim faction with powerful armies and rich provinces, they begin in a position that's suitable for quickly seizing the Holy Land.

This is to its credit as both crusaders, Monguls and Timurids are likely to take an interest in Jerusalem and Antioch.

Egyptian armies are more generalist then most, lacking specialisation in one area (such as heavy infantry) but having units capable of filling in the role (Tradayabba - the new version of the Abysain guard).

As most Egyptian units are lightly armoured, they are suited to combat in hotter conditions such as the entire south of the campaign map.

Egyptian unique units include powerful Mamuluk cavalry, in both heavy horse archer, and heavy charger cavalry variants. Though they are not equal in skill to those available to cavalry specialist powers such as the Monguls, Turks and Russians.

In conclusion, they Egyptian army can see off any threat in any situation, so long as it has brought the right troops for it.
