Good luck!
This will be very interesting.
I am planning on playing as Egypt for my next game and I am eager to see how you will do as Egypt (so that I learn a few tricks :D )
 
Egypt is a very fun nation to play, good luck! Hope you do better than I did.
 
It will be interesting to see how you deal with Egypt, considering how you are sandwiched between Carthage and the Seleucids.
 
It is before a few days.Egyptian Pharaoh Ptolemy told it to generals in this way in the seat of the strategic meeting.
"Our Asia minor provinces gets rid" The Pharaoh said.
"What!?"
The generals were surprised.
The pharaoh answered.
"Our armed forces have only three army corps 24,000. The enemy deploys two army corps in Syria and two army corps in Asia minor.
At first,in Syria of the war potential should have the our superiority.
Our two province of Asia minor will regain it later."

Today,Two following army corps deployed in Alexandria continued advancing in this way for Syria.
20 strong Egypt navy helps with this transportation.

Meanwhile,Egypt sets National Ideas on "Progessional Soldiers","Organized Recruitment" and "Civic Duty".
In addition, They performed the setting of the all trade route.
They exported from iron of Cyrenaica to Marmarica(adjacent northeast province).Mobilization of Heavy Infantry will get closer to a front in this a little.
From woods of Cyprus to Sinai Peninsula.For the mobilization of Archers.
From stones of Lycia to Judea which can become the front.
These are particularly important.

Finally,Egyptian perform OMEN!
The high priest evokes Egyptian goddess "Isis" in a pyramid.
This Chance are 40%.
But goddess are smiling on us.

I haven't had chance to install Rome yet. But on Saturday I hope to be firing up my first game and I fancy playing as Egypt. So this AAR interests me very much. Good luck. :cool:
 
interesting strategy going on the offensive. Normally, since the Seleucid Empire no manpower, a defensive strategy is best, but by the way you are playing, it seems that you are doing ok.

Great job so far :)
 
Offensive beats defensive sure enough - perhaps you will manage to take a few provinces though I would imagine it will be a long war.
 
Chapter 2:First Egypt-Seleucted War

Chapter 2:First Egypt-Seleucted War

In October 474,The Egyptian army surrounded Coele-Syria and let it fall by double assult on 5 November.

Congrats on the war, at first I was skeptic, but you have prove me wrong and dominated them. Now you just have to keep at it (keeping your bb and your economy in check) and sooner than later you will control all of the east.
 
Wow... that was a monster conquest. Next, let's see how you deal with the biggest problem I've had with the Egyptians - trying to get some peace to rebuild (It just seems that no one likes the Ptolemies...)
 
A very good war.
 
Humiliation, destruction and neutering the Seleucids in just one war! Congrats and as long as they pay their tribute to you, they are unable to expand. Truly a great war! :)
 
Thanks all! I'm proud to this greet war. :D
BTW,I think about which I select next Egypt strategy.

1)Invade Macedonia immediately!!
They are attacking Illyrian(has one province only).It's good chance of war.
Macedonia has one province which producing a "horse". It is a war purpose to get it.
But I don't like to increase bad boy rate more than this...

2)Wait...until second Egypt-Seleucid war break out.
Meanwhile,I sweep barbarians and colonize in south of the Judea provinces.
And Egypt will reduce bad boy rate and increase manpower.

Even if I select it,wait for next update.
