Egypt is a fairly well rounded jack of all trades faction.

They get some decent light cavalry choices, and a number of Chariot units that are among the best in the game.

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.

Faction Details

Egypt starts the campaign with all of Egypt in its control, along with Jerusalem,Cyprus(Salamis),and Sidon. Egypt should first take Petra and Bostra, due to the fact they are meagerly defended rebel settelemants. It could also be advantagous to gather a force and take Halcarnassus in Asia Minor. Once you obtain the money, you should buy Siwa from the Numidians(if it hasn't already rebelled against them). You will come under attack first from the Seleucids, so you should keep a strong garrison in Sidon and Jerusalem.


If you have further detailed information on the faction, such as strategies, AARs, pictures, or history, please post it on the Faction Details page in a new sub-section so that this page can be kept clean of opinionated information.
