The Egyptians and Their Advantages

Overview

The Egyptians are master builders and economic experts, famed for their monumental pyramids and ingenious use of the River Nile to improve agriculture.
Their civilization thrives on organization and efficiency, making them one of the strongest tribes in terms of resource production and defense.

Although their days of ancient glory are past, the Egyptians remain a formidable force, capable of producing vast resources and training armies quickly and cheaply. They shine in defensive play and provide immense support to their allies.

The Egyptians are available only on 5-tribe servers.
They are ideal for new players who prefer economic strength and defense, as well as experienced players seeking a stable, supportive role.
