Medjay Infantry

Fearing a possible invasion before the ascension of Seti's successor, the Egyptians had reinforced their border patrols.

—Christian Jacq, The Temple of a Million Years

Overall strategy

Medjay Infantry - replaces Kushite Spearmen for Egypt. He loses his African appearance, but gains a nice shiny new khopesh and is good at using it. Although he is armed with a sword, not a spear, he still counts as a spearman for game purposes, so he carries on the task of being a fast anticav unit. He is best used to punish factions who cannot access mid- to high-tier units, such as the Germans or the Arabs. Against factions such as the Assyrians or the Zhou, however, he is of very little use.
