Overall strategy[edit | edit source]

The Kebenit is a unique variant of the roundship available to Egypt. Unlike conventional Roundships which are meant primarily to soak up damage, the Kebenit is capable of dishing out added damage to warships around it — in essence, making it a formidable Bronze Age "battleship". The Kebenit is fairly useful in the early game - and will perform well against War Boats and Forts alike — at least until more powerful vessels, such as the Bireme and Trireme make their appearance.
