I am one of the many people who decided to get back into the game with the 2.0 Marius update. I only played a Roman campaign before losing interest back at release. The menu says the easiest start is Egypt, so I have decided to begin as them to ease myself back in. My first campaign I allied Macedonia and pounced right on Antigony with their help using the Legacy of Alexander CB it went well until it really, really poorly. What is a better opening strategy as Egypt? Is there a better country to start as for the uninitiated?

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
