I'm an experienced EB player but I have usually just played Romani, Makedonia and Getai. I recently tried a Baktrian campaign and I'm finding it really hard! I somehow ended up at war with AS, Pahlava and Saka within 10 years and I only have a 3/4 stack of fairly average units.

I'm thinking that all is lost right now because I failed to expand east, but I don't really know how to prevent all these enemies from surrounding me again if I start a new campaign.

What are your top Baktria-starting tips?
