I deliberately abandoned a couple of my eastern provinces at the start but after that it's just been me sucking.

VH/VH. I usually play on M/M but I thought this would be a nice change of pace. I was doing OK until I blew two field battles against the Pahlava which cost me both my eastern armies, after which I sent one of my western armies to go save Persia. The Ptolemies then bribed my remaining western army and left me with 1 army with which to defend some 20 odd provinces. And then the KH and Hayasdan attacked. I fought (and lost) five city sieges in a single turn at one point.

I've been holding the Pahlava and Ptolemies off for a while now by abusing the rivers at Seleukeia, but my economy's collapsed and I can't afford to retrain any of my soldiers so I am thinking of destroying all my buildings in order to finance a boat with which I can try to escape to India.
