Egypt

[Catbeard Beardcat]

I find them very "hard" to play, but I want to, because I like egypt history/mythology.
Any advice what god to pick for beginner?

With the Egyptians your Pharaoh's ability to empower is critical for your economy. Building, gathering, research, training, and even damage from attacking buildings all increase when the Pharaoh bless the associated building. This also important to note for building stuff because Egypt takes much longer to build things, so getting a Pharaoh to speed up the construction of key buildings can be important.

Ra is the easiest Egyptian God to play imo. Ra lets you use Priests to empower at 60% efficiency and if you set your Pharaoh to empower a monument he instead empowers all nearby buildings (in a fairly large radius) at 60% efficiency.

Also, Egyptians are extremely Gold-dependent. They don't use Wood for construction and instead use a lot of Gold (Though a few buildings like houses and markets are free too). You do still need Wood for some things, but Gold should always be your #1 priority economy-wise.

Eggys are the original "advanced civilization" in this game. Most of their buildings are free, they need little Wood, and mostly need Food, and A TON of Gold.

Their Barracks units are frail and only good at countering VERY SPECIFIC types of enemy units. Their real arsenal is Migdol Stronghold (effectively their Castle + Stables) and their really good Myth Units.

Almost everything with them is a rush to Heroic, and a HUGE need to secure Gold deposits. Egyptians are the most resource dependant civ in the game, you have to expand and capture Gold with them.
