How to stop Egypt and India from being so overpowered?

[Quibblesome]

Earth18? Is that the one where the AI doesn't start with archery (irrespective of diffuclty)?

If so just be more aggressive early on. As England for example its really easy to take Paris and Madrid with a quick rush (chariots/HAs)

Sounds easy enough

Kill them when they are small! Egypt will wonderspam early on.. Nail him before he has many units or cities..

But first you would need to build galleys.

One is enough.

Counter chariots with spears ?

Spearmen are always good for me :3 Too bad that my opponents like them too :[

Earth map is very unbalanced, i suggest you playing Huge maps with 18 civs but instead of Earth try Hempshires,Continents,Fractal or Archipelago

Whenever I'm trying to play from 4000 BCE on an Earth map, Egypt and India are extremely overpowered.
Egypt usually gets the Printing Press by the dawn of 1000 CE and in one game discovered: Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Christianity and Islam!
Also Egypt owns pretty much all of Africa!
And India keeps owning all of Indonesia, Australia and invades China and Iran.
And in one game they discovered Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism and Christianity.
It's so frustrating, why are they so powerful? Other Civilisations just keep getting dominated!
And England and Greece are always the weakest ones, staying in the Classical era until about 1500 CE!

Yes, this has been my experience, also. I play Ramesses about 99% of the time, and anytime Musa, Ghandi, or Capac are in the game I do everything possible to slow them down. I rarely lose games to any of the military dudes.

Asoka not only have high score in Earth map, Asoka also usually have hightest score among other civs in random maps like archipelago,continents,hempshires thats not because of his UU,UB or traits its because Asoka have good AI probably for peaceful building.

What map/size and difficulty are you playing with Ramzes? Or you talking about multiplayer?

Emperor right?
