Add an expensive price tag of 600 gold to another already gold heavy priest. The strict population limit is what makes it very impractical. In Rise of Rome, sacrificing priests with Martyrdom, now called Sacrifice in the Definitive Edition to instantly convert enemy units.Being an RTS game, it doesn't strive to emulate the actual scenarios perfectly, however. The campaigns follow historical events closely, and there's a decent amount of history which can be learned from the games.
The Egyptians, for example, are good at farming and have powerful chariots and elephants, but no access to decent siege weapons and infantry. The civilizations are designed to fight the same way their historical counterparts did.

Artistic License History: Zig-zagged. They can even kill themselves because they chose to go through the worst path possible.
The units' pathfinding AI has a lot of problems. Some players even forgo them entirely in favor of ballistas, which lack the splash damage but still deal considerable damage and don't kill your own units. One of the greatest threats your army will face is your own catapults since they avert Friendly Fireproof, a badly-aimed rock will kill your men just as dead as the enemy, and the damn things will launch at anything hostile that they see. It reinforces the Tactical RockPaperScissors, making cavalry (even the lowly Scout) that much more important overall. Not much use for a catapult trying to run from a horseman, but an archer can and will kite your infantry, and unless you have an opposing archer to Draw Aggro and make him stop, just one lowly bowman can get a whole squad of your axemen killed. Artificial Brilliance: AI ranged units will try to move away from melee enemies before resuming the attack. Arrows on Fire: Alchemy, which gives a damage bonus to all ranged attacks (including the fire ships) except for the slingers and changes the relevant projectile sprites to burning equivalents.
