I guess I sorta get the complaints about the dual-culture system, but honestly it adds more to the game than it takes away. I really do enjoy the roleplaying aspect of DEI, and the very fact that the system makes public order harder to manage just makes the game more enjoyable. Usually by late game you have public order of 100 everywhere as singe-culture factions, so Egypt’s system adds another possible challenge (or at least something to do) for late game. Only thing I’d really ask for in Egypt atm is some sort of unit overhaul or unique reform system similar to what Atropaktan has, instead of grouping them with the universal Greek reforms. That would be pretty i m m e r s i v e. Other than that, it’s great. I’m hoping a similar dual-culture and reform system is added for other factions such as Baktria soon.

I agree as well mate, I think its far more to the game than what issues it causes (and to be honest imo it doesn't really have any negatives). Its unique, adds more complexity in a way that is easily managed IF the person playing Egypt isn't lazy and just takes care of it appropriately.

@@Immersaholic Yeah usually what I do is place generals (as governors) in towns like Side and Jerusalem, especially the former since it’s entirely isolated, plus dignitaries. I think last time I played them I suffered like, one revolt in Judea (this was on normal) before things finally stabilized. Plus you know, you can just spam trash AOR units the turn before a revolt to kill them fast. Early-game Egypt can be hectic but it’s still manageable and engaging if you know how to handle it, which is why I probably wouldn’t recommend it to new players. Either way, looking forward to the next guide!

In my campaign I’ve found the baseline Egyptian archers to be more cost effective, they’re far cheaper than the Judeans and if you do the math you get more damage out of the 200 men than the 175 of the latter. Only drawback is range but they’re dirt cheap so I always go for them.
