Hehe, Mr. GOTM is here ! 
Good general advice ; guys, did you listen ?
Considering the time I read and post here, I wonder if I will have enough time in my days for a real training day game...
Resistor, you need to know something : Egypt seems to have 2 cities (I say "seems", because I don't look at the save, but you could know by visiting her), but once you'll get ready for another attack, I highly suppose that they'll have more towns, and that they'll have more defense (maybe spearmen, and I guess Bronze Working is of high priority (and it's quite cheap) for the AI). If you go the same way you did, you'll lose once again.
The key is to focus on expansion, and then use your advantage to kill the AI. It's too early to make the difference, and you're not the Aztecs.
Good point, Sandrock, on deciding to build a settler in Rome (using the granary) and go get the iron : that is called an investment that can be quickly won back !!
One unwise thing (one of my (not so) former habits) is to go to war too early, without or with few units. Take the time to build up your army. You'll need cities, shields, gold, iron. That can take some time, but it's the safest and best way to victory. You can continue what you started if you're pleased with it as long as you think it's good or fun or whatever... It could even be interesting to see when (if you do) you would change your mind on the subject, after losing so many units (sorry, archers will have a hard time against Egyptian spearmen). The only thing that keeps me from saying that you're going to suicide is the Warlord level : after all, maybe the AI is no match with your strategy, who knows ?
But even with Egypt dead, you'll fall behind other civs that will have expanded while you were eating your foe.

I just played two games in warlord where I got domination victory. I went to war early and just slaughtered my way to a victory. My war appetitie is fullfilled, if no one wants to go to war this early in this game, it's cool. Let's just sue for peace and deal with them later. But remember that we will have to kill them sooner or later. They are too damm close to us. 
D ) I say we can support more units.
