best advisors for egyption civ?

Hey !

For age one I prefer Closet Organizer Irene (storehouse upgrades cost) but Apprentice Mason Philon (building speed) is also a solid advisor. Irene is better for quests starting with low resources so you can still bootstrap your economy pretty fast.

For age two, Chieftain Dumnorix all the way. (Caravans cost less and move faster)

For age three, it's a matter of preferences too. I use Councilman Onesiphorosto reduce the cost of Age 4 (combined with gear reducing the cost of the Ptah temple) so I reach something like 480 of each resource (except stone) to get to Age 4. It's a good synergy with my Age 4 advisor which I will talk about later. You can also use Commander Bolgios (fortresses cost reduced) because you will build of lot them.

And for Age 4, Khepri's Coin Curator without a doubt. THE most powerful advisor in my opinion. More health for your elephants and faster training time. They only cost gold though: about 400 gold (if you use gauntlets) but Dumnorix greatly helps with that.

 

For age 1 - Best advisor is Philon. Aside from the obvious perks he has the greatest synergy with Egyptians because you need to build to advance ages. Irene is a matter of preference. I've tried both and prefer Philon. Egyptians have a strong eco with priestess anyways so the storehouse upgrades are not as desirable nor do they seem as expensive due the strong eco.

Age 2 - This is almost unanimously Dumnorix with the exception of maps where you trade via transport ship, in which case Perikles is the best.

Age 3 - As mentioned this can vary based on preference. Ultimately this slot isn't as impactful. Some good choices are:

Onesiphoros - cheap age 4 so you can rush faster and get eles out

Hathor - more damage to ranged and seige

Commander something something - 10% cavalry speed

Commander bolgois/senior mason stephanos - cheaper forts (I prefer the latter since it gives cheaper Tc and towers as well)

Castle Builder Sostrate - This is my personal favourite. Faster fort building in conjunction with divine hammer and philon. You will build forts so fast it'll surprise you. Also allows establishing forward bases much more easily and comfortably. This is a cheap and very effective advisor.

Age 4 - As mentioned, Khepris. There's nothing superior to this unless it's a no cavalry mission.

Hope this helps.

Not a problem at all. Looks like you are pretty much on track

And that's lucky you got philon. He can be a bit expensive for new players.
