Great Wall of Baktria, I like it.

My first target will be Charax, second one Susa. The Ptolies are having problems in their conquest of Arabia, mainly that the cities keep revolting back to Sa'byn. This is the reason why the Sa'byn have been able to survive so long, and there won't be many troops coming at me from that direction. I've also made truce with the Seleukids (and have no fears, for they are too crippled to pose any real threat ATM) so my natural route of expansion goes directly west. The good thing about Charax and Susa is that they are protected by rivers and mountains, which enables me to concentrate defense on chokepoints (bridges, fords and passes). I'll launch my invasion with three fullstacks, once ready.

there's a VERY handy bridge west of Babylon that, in my experience, they'll just throw stack after stack at. Aside from that you'll only need to worry about attacks from the direction of Edessa.

Wow, this really is a clash of titans... Good luck with the looong war, Conqueror!

Don't you trade map rights?

Didn't get around to it in the early game, and it's hard to get the AI to sell it later. Then the Ptolemies, 2 turns before the war started, demanded that I pay a ridiculously small sum (was something to the tune of 4000 mnai) lest they attack. For some odd reason they included their map info on the "offer" and I thought I might as well agree to it.
