Re: How to fight the Arverni and Rome as Egypt
Yes, I was impressed by that too!
Yes, Egypt has a fleet at Carthage - enough to discourage the two Roman legions in Sicily from crossing the sea for now, but not enough to intercept Arverni reinforcements crossing from Spain to Africa (and anyway the Arverni hold north west Africa).
Thanks, I haven't used Egyptian chariots and I'll give them a try. I can't recruit Royal Peltasts or Galatian Royal Guard yet - I'm researching the tech needed to build the tier-4 barracks (it was a big mistake not to have researched it earlier!). You're right, using those elite units will consume my income, but it will be necessary.
In the meantime, I've been holding off the Arverni with lines of Thorax Pikes and using artillery, archers and cavalry to wear them down - it usually works but with heavy losses for Egypt. Good tip about killing the general, but not (as you said) when the player can't wipe out their army.
