Like most players I take a good gander at all the units the different factions have at their disposal.
Although all the factions have at least some very nice units, the Seleukids get my vote, because they just have so many really nice ones.
This means when I build my armies, it's hard for them to get borring, because I can field such an intrinsic variation, put together from across my empire.
How can you afford that variation? I'm at 202BC in my Seleukid game and I'm still stuck using levy phalangites + slingers/thanvabara for all my armies, except for one that uses pezhetairoi (and that's only because I can't train levy phalanx in Egypt - those damn pezzies eat all my money :wall:). And I still have NO cavalry save for generals bodyguard units, and no navy.
How did you start your campaign? Did you cut all the costs you can(cav, unneeded and expensive inf and ships) and attack the Ptolemies in the palastine area in the first moves, also get all the trade agreements you can whilst flogging map info?Quote:

I pay alot of attention to grooming my governers/generals traits and retinues. I do alot of retinue swapping, the best governers get the best retinues and go to the richest cities, etc. Cut costs with the right people having 10% off recruiting and medics to reduce replacements. The best generals get the morale boosting retinues, as fleeing troops loose more men=cost money to replace.
Tax to the max!
Do you have the minimum no of cities producing your military?
I hope some of this helps.
I would like to say to the EB team I think they all look great. If i had a second vote it would def be eporite. I have never played as baktria so dont know too much about their units but that blue color sure is awesome!
