Only problem with this is AS will backstab you. I tried that and a AS stack marched on Bak while I was on my way to Tak.

Had much more success going for Propthasia as soon as possible. For one it keeps your alliance with Parthia intact, AS weak early and Propthasia has more income initially than Kophen.
