Baktria is far from irrelevant! I am playing a campaign with them right now (H/M) and I am doing quite well, though it is a thorough challenge keeping your units strategically placed to fend off AS and Saka stacks while you build up your economy to produce field-worthy armies. (Persian archer spam FTW!)

Perhaps its just because a human is playing them; but they could gobble up the whole eastern half of the AS once the ball got rolling - and that's no easy task! I think Baktria is a golden little gem waiting to be found if players would give them a chance, rather than shun them as inferior, successor wannabes.
