Age of Empires Egyptian Strategy

Age of Empires Egyptian Strategy
By Jacob Malewitz
KnyghtChessGo.Wordpress.com

One game, went with Shang against Persian and Greek. I was playing with Egypt, who I enjoy playing in Age of Empires as they have a strong chariot and strong navy. I usually play Hittites and Choson, as they are the best in Deathmatch, a game where you are full on resources and have to hit on war.

I lost. My ally immediately turned, as happens in Age of Empires, and I was surprised at how fast the Persians and the Greeks hit my city,

Held point of war, went with chariot archer, elephant, and some catapult. Shang did turn late in the game as I started losing. I lost game on points. Actually, I turned on my ally before I could be hit by them, a wise strategy in Age of Empires I.

If you play with Egyptian, a tough game to play against any civ, you should try the chariot archer. Archer units can win in any strategy game. Archer units are very strong. On the other hand, you can win different with Greek.

How might you win with Egypt? Egypt is a hard empire to win with. You have some strategy here. However, you can quit and play with a different Civ. My recommendation is to play until you win. You can win, even if your ally turns. You might be able to win on points. You might be able to turn on your ally first, or hit another town, and get another gold mine.

How might you use the war elephant? The Egyptians have a strong war Elephant to use against the Greek Centurion. The Egyptians have a strong Elephant archer to use against other archers, who can beat the Elephant. And the Elephant cannot always beat the Centurion, especially the Greek Centurion.

How might you play 2v2? You should be ready for your ally to turn. You should defend your city. You should save some units in the rear. You should remember some of your strategies. You need your own original strategies. You should use some hoplites in this game: Greeks have Centurions, but these Hoplites immediately made my best critical attack to win the game. They destroyed a town and allowed me time to last.

How can you win with an ally? It's hard to win with an ally in Age of Empires: they always turn – at least in the hardest difficulty -- but you can always beat them if you plan for attack.

Age of Empires 2 is better in some ways because your ally does not turn, but the computer AI is not always as tough. I like the ally turning, because you can learn new tactics. On the other hand, this can be very hard Chess. Age of Empires can be played in a Free For All, in 1v1v1.

How can you beat Egypt?

What land is best?

What game should you play, through the ages or with Deathmatch? What Civilization can you play instead of Egypt. In old days, Choson and Hittite can always win. Egypt can beat both, but in different ways.

The Mars Jacket by Jacob Malewitz

The Mars Jacket by Jacob Malewitz Final Draft You can call it what you want—just don’t call it a psych ward. In this ward was a girl whom I hated more than anything. She sat like the devil on her throne. Hell had a place for her, though I was sure she thought she fought on the side of good. This is my story of finding peace in the land of the insane. She will play a part. Evil always does. She will go unnamed, though I can give some details on the devil of my world. She chain-smoked cigarettes, even bummed a few from me before I ran out of money for the bad habit. I knew from watching her that she worked twice as hard as I did on everything. She would never quit. I hated that in other people; I hated her more than anyone else because of it. I liked watching TV, and found a show about the Solar System and religiously watched it with dreams of making it to the colonized planets. The Jupiter magnet stations had revolutionized space travel. Anything to do with science c

Red Athens, Chapter 1, a Fun Fantasy Novel, for Readers of All Ages

Red Athens Chapter 1 by Jacob Malewitz Change is the absolute, for things change often, and do you see them changing, the emprires falling and the warriors standing off? Heroes do what we cannot, one standing against many. The hero of Red Athens breaths in a land set by four empires. Blue Babylon : over the seas a landed people of remarkable intellect, built in a city built over a hell opened by one mage. Green Sparta : a warlike city bent on turning the world with magiks; Spartans walk on water if King Leonidas demands it. Red Athens : a light in the harrowed and known lands of the world, where philosophy rules, but a blade is always kept to each free citizen’s arm, lest a Spartan sneak up.   And Sky Rome : a bloody place not long ago, a people who see themselves to be just as civilized as the Red Athenians. A scroll from a secretive poet is built from the documents of wordsmiths, tells of the travels of a young Pericles Knyght, a battle mage of Red Athens, who champion
