@ Greve Af Goteborg
the reason i cant take the screenshots myself is because i dont have RTW, so this is why i am asking for help.
By the way thank you for the pic

@Gaunty14

maybe he doesn't have a mod that portrays them well

and are you doing Ptolemy (spelling) period or ancient pharaoh period ie ramses 4 etc

Ah. So RTW is outside your timeframe. While the RTW Egyptians more closely resemble ancient egyptians than the historically correct Ptolemiac Egyptians, it still isn't accurate for either one, so you'd best find some other sources.

May be the RoP kemet faction will ressembl them accurately?

the pictures don't need 100% historical accuracy they are for power point presentation and would be use to keep my classmates interested with battle scenes.

You still shouldn't use RTW. The Egyptian faction in particular is ridiculously inaccurate, your teacher will probably fail you.

Use ROP's kemet faction (like another poster said), or nothing related to RTW. Vanilla is just plain off the mark for Egypt. Another thing is, if you want battle pics, they'll be fighting against some other RTW timeframe faction, not ancient Egypt's traditional enemies.

Yes the protrayal is horribly inaccurate and if there is a God he/she will. I have no idea why the game developers felt the need to have the Ptolemaic dynasty master time travel and have Egypt bring back their bronze age counterparts to fight.

Probably too many "Alexander" factions. They must have (foolishly) thought people would be bored with another phalanx faction.

Personally I'd rahter have historic accuracy than have my computer struggling to play a graphically over done realism mod. RTR triples my load times.

But to anyway, I would just google search. There's probably plenty of images. These are pretty good temple carvings.

Have fun wiht your presentation. Like on the last one say someting like, "OH!!!!!! Pwned his dome!" If you think your classmates would approve.

Hey pal, I can't get pics but am glad to hep you in info. If you are doing the TRUE ancient egyptians and not Ptolemy's than remember archers were not incorperated till very later on. After a long war with the Nubians who almost soley used just bows, Egypt adopted the bow. This was during the time when Egypt was first expanding down the Nile. They suffer horribly to ong ranged weapons but once close enough dominated. Three generations later the Egyptians were no longer a power until Ptolemy came into the picture. Their were 5 leaders 4 male and one female. Also the second to last leader moved the capital from Memphis (the original capital of Egypt) to Thebes. He was a tyrant and was killed the last of the leaders moed back to Memphs and from their Egypt succumbed to decline and remained in the shadow for many great years...
