"All buildings are replaced by mobile caravans. Villagers gather slower but are cheaper. Best at: Raiding and Expanding" ― In-game description.

Overview

The Egyptians are an African civilization featured in the first release of Age of Empires III: Wars of Liberty, in September of 2015. The Egyptians, along with the Ethiopians and Zulu, are one of the first original African civilizations introduced in Wars of Liberty.

The Egyptians in-game are based in the XIX century Khedivate of Egypt, a state that got virtual independence from the Ottoman Empire under the rule of Muhammad Ali Pasha.

Muhammad Ali, who is their in-game leader, is also considered the founder of modern Egypt due to his reforms in the military, economic and cultural spheres that he instituted.

Features

• Almost every Egyptian building is a mobile wagon
