Well, like i said, the army i mentioned was the western army which works like a charm against the Ptolemaioi. On the eastern frontiers of my empire my armies look so different you'd hardly be able to tell they belonged to the same faction. Large amounts of long-range missile troops and medium and light spear infantry.

To be honest, i'm clueless as to how to fight the Pahlava. I've been attacking them in towns where their horses don't have the mobility of a field battle, and then defending towns. I've been waging war in city streets rather than out in the open, because i know if i go out in the open i'll be quickly annihlated and lose some very important eastern provinces which generate a lot of income for me.

Any tips for me on how to fight Pahlava as Seleukids?
