Could be worse, could have been Ramses with a desert hills start. He gets DF, Petra, and rushes his neighbor with chariot archers to become an unstoppable conquering, wonder hogging, Islam-powered settler pooping monster. I've seen it.
OT, but on ancient Egypt+Islam, I really hate how favored religion is the one that is popular in the nation today, rather than when the leader was in power. Ancient Greek and Norse and Egyptian religions should be added at least. Oh, but they had to make 3 different flavors of Jesus because of that one psychotic person who complained that not being the lord of Christendom every game made it unplayable.
