The OFFICIAL Greeks vs Egypcians thread

What's your favorite civilization?

[etrips888]

I need to play with Egypt some more, because I feel they have a really powerful/interesting side to them with the priest empowering buildings. But my favourite units have always been archers, and because egypt doesn't get a true "archer" unit early on, I think I have to side with the greeks

Sounds like AOM lol

Boost Egypt, Nerf Athens

I'm too low to get there, but I'd like to see better siege units...

How do I play Egypt??

[etrips888]

I only played egypt early in the beta. In the latest build they removed the civ because they are redoing the missions and such. Hopefully will be back soon.

Greek ftw. In the ORIGINAL AoE the Greeks had the balistas, and those things pwnd. If I remember correctly the Egyptians had the OP chariots. Those were fun 2 play with.

That just made me remember, someone told me Egyptians have ranged cav, but they dont have a cav tag only a ranged tag so you have to make Cav against Ranged Cav, so weird as an AoE3 player .

Prolly will be funny to see the lesser players mass spearmen against the Ranged Cav, where the Ranged Cav actually counters them

[joe4holly]

why would anyone make soemthing other than arch ?

[jerom]

Because they are stupid and don't listnen to the imbalances but rather play how the game is supposed to be played

[joe4holly]

arch vs arch and i sill lose =(

[etrips888]

Are archers imba currently? I've only done one PvP, and did see my opponent went archers first..

(Too bad I beat him before he could mass anything )

Any1 remember the good old days of NS in AoE.

NS = No siege and was a game that people would also call Archer WarZ. That was so much fun.
