Egypt is in an extremely convenient starting position.
There is Cyrenaica on the west - your only enemy.
Since this faction is extremely weak, this is a convenient direction of the future expansion.
To the east you’ll come across friendly Nabataea and to the south there is Seleucid Empire.
Well-trained fleet complements the land troops so you’ll be able to easily attack any coastal country.
Karian axemen
Shock infantry equipped with axes.
Thanks to heavy weapons they are able to defeat heavy armored enemy units.
It is best to use them as flanking units, since they are not very resistant to hits.
Royal peltasts
Elite Greek warriors, available for Ptolemaic Egypt.
When they are attacking an opponent they use javelins and then finish the job with swords.
This is perfect flanking infantry.
Hellenic royal guard
Yet another elite Greek unit - this time equipped with pikes.
Greatly armored and armed.
When using phalanx formation they are able to defeat enemy with minimal own losses.
Galatian royal guard
Celtic mercenaries employed by Ptolemaic Pharaohs.
These are the best shock troops available for Egypt - they easily cope with any armor.
Egyptian archers
Average morale, average fire effectiveness, low price.
They have shorter range than slingers but their arrows are more effective against armored targets.
Camel spearmen
This is light cavalry, whose main objective is crushing enemy skirmishers.
Thanks to possibility of trampling they can rapidly get rid of projectile units and flee before they got surrounded.
When fighting enemy cavalry they can be used as flanking units so that frighten enemy horses.
Camel archers
Mobile archers, invaluable during fights in the deserts.
They constantly harass the enemy while staying out of range.
Scythed chariots
Battle chariots used for destroying enemy light infantry units and breaking heavy infantry ranks.
Just like other machines, they are vulnerable to cavalry attacks.
African elephants
War elephants units are used to trampling enemy heavy infantry.
Always remember to send support after them, because lonely elephants are an easy target for enemy projectile units.
