You can't get it until modern(or was it industrial?) age, so it really only works for one or 2 age upgrades.

play as egypt, get it an age early

Ok, I tried the test I referred to earlier, ie, never upgrading units. Bottom line, while it may actually be the case that a hoplite has a decent chance against a tank, you just can't do it in a real game. If the only thing he had on the battle field was tanks, then maybe it would work. But the hoplites were getting slaughtered by his upgraded heavy infantry and whatever else he had out there that wasn't cavalry. I started fighting sometime around gunpowder age, with an army of ancient era hoplites, bowmen, and cataphracts. He also had decent mixed forces, but somewhat upgraded (though not to gunpowder levels). And I was getting slaughtered.

Of course, rather than waste a perfectly good game, I quickly took the upgrades and kicked the computer's butt. And I had some real fun with helicopters, which I've never used before, so the game was worthwhile. In case anyone is wondering, the game was free for all, moderate difficulty level, arena map, me as the British and one random opponent which turned out to be Bantu.
