This was debated long ago. I have no intention of making Egypt just another Greek clone, the ENTIRE world at this time was GREEK, Alexander conquered a HUGE empire, and they all used GREEK wepaons and tactics which would make a VERY BORING GAME fighting one greek over another without any flare. Heck the Barbarians arent as they show in the game, they were armored and had a unique culture.

Overall one has to balance whether history or gameplay will come into effect. I chose Gameplay and Artistic license over Pure historical Truth. Most would find History boring for a Game if they new the Truth. lol

Egypt though more ancient in the game than in real life gives flare and the feel of fighting a unique unit in another part of the world. I would hope in a 1000 years someone making a game on our history would adjust to make it fun than what it REALLY IS NOW. :hmmm:
