in the beginning i really enjoyed to play this campaign but now after i killed julii,brutii and numidia its starting to piss me off. as soon as i destroyed the numidian capital(after i moved hours through the desert) egypt collected all their armies and did nothing but attack my new city. supporting my armies is really hard cause it isnt that i could make elephants in all cities, no there are just 5 and those are miles away.carthage's elite infantry is another joke as well. only when i make one kind of temples i can produce them and they could have at least standard bowmen. even after i made like 5 heroic wins in a row the egyptian is still pushing me and all i can do is defend cause as soon as i leave my city i have to deal with at least 2 armies and surrounded on the open field is 100% loss
the egyptian makes nothing but pikemen and archers, the pharaonic archers are so amazing, maybe they shouldnt counter regular cavalry(holy shit or however their name is)so all i can go for is elephants and heavy onagers but one nice hit of the archers and my elephants kill themselve. additionally all my cities are so far away from each other that nowhere i have a decent loyality besides carthage city, thapsus, caralis and the 3 sicilian ones.
so now it looks like i have wasted plenty of hours getting destroyed by one wrong decision(killing numidia). 100 % stupid imo.
