Mythic BAttles Games were always intended to be fully compatible with each other, so it’s a given that MB:R will be compatible with MB:P, the unique elements come from the unit cards and abilities.

In theory it does get ongoing support – there will likely be a second kickstarter at some point in the future and there will likely be a 3rd MB game as well.  That’s where it’s support comes from.  As a game though, it is definitely set up to be competive or at least facilitate competition, even if it doesn’t necessarily drive a collectible hobby.  It’s well balanced and uses a draft system to determine your forces.

As for Egypt, it has lots and lots of Gods and they’re all really cool, often being half human and half beast – check out Anubis (Jackal), Horus (Haw) and Sekhmet (Crocodile) to name a few.  But it doesn’t quite have the same mythos surrounding it that the Greek and Norse pantheons do, or if it did it is certainly not as well known.  Aesthetically however it workss far better than either Roman or Celtic options as they are far to close to the existing Greek and Norse offerings and they need to do something more unique.  Aesthetically Egypt definitely fits the bill, as would East Asia or South East Asia as would Meso-America.  I would even venture that so would Christianity.  As much as I would like to see any of these, I do think Egypt seems the most likely.
