what are the different ethnicities the Arche Seleukid family members get? Are they all Greek ethnicities? or do they get Persians, and other ethnicities from the regions they control

I'll look it up for you, just a moment.

According to the export_VnVs file (as of 1.2), these are the listed ethnicities for the Arche Seleukeia:

Seleukid_Babylonios
Seleukid_Hellen
Seleukid_Makedon
Seleukid_Persikos
Seleukid_Heterogenes
Seleukid_Syrios

In the edct (export_descr_character_traits), I can also find:

SeleukidSogdios
SeleukidArmenios

even though these are not listed on the export_vnvs and export_descr_vnvs_enums files.

VnVs:

{Seleukid_Armenios} Armenios

{Seleukid_Armenios_desc}
Armenios - This man is a descendant of the people who inhabited Armenia, and who ventured further south to benefit from Seleukid trade and contact. His family joined a Seleukid colony and he grew up there, and now he has risen to a position in the Seleukid kingdom of some importance. He is more prone to certain characteristics that run in his family’s blood, like abilities to succeed in farming and in trade and competency in mining as well. He may also use local informants to his advantage more so than other men, but he is possibly viewed with some suspicion by the king merely from his ethnicity. He is prone to be more disloyal and secretive when it comes to Seleukid policies and secrets as well.

{Seleukid_Sogdios} Sogdios

{Seleukid_Sogdios_desc}
Sogdios - Although this man owes his allegiance to the Seleukid king, and was born in one of the empire’s many cities, he is a Sogdian by blood. His ancestors lived on the Polytimetos River, in the lands around Marakanda, but they worked alongside the Persai and the Seleukeis to bring more trade and benefits of the western empires to their lands and then to the whole kingdom. For his part, he has risen to an important position now within the Seleukid king’s inner circle. Although he may have taken a Hellenic name and adopted some Hellenic customs, his background makes him more prone to have many local contacts which increase his knowledge of what is going on in the region at all times, and he is more likely to be accepting of other peoples and their customs. He, like many of his countrymen, is always suspected of disloyalty to the Seleukid king though.

Ah, like so. I only searched for "SeleukidSogdios" in there, which doesn't give any results.
