It is possible to save Asaak as the Seleucids - in fact, to not loose a single city. You have to hire a mercenary general there on the first turn. You won't start with enough money so scrap some building you don't need, like the temple to Marduk in Seleucia. Then reinforce your border cities with troops from the eastern half of the empire. But otherwise, you're free to focus on the wealthy cities of Asia Minor and Egypt without having to chase horse archers across the steppe.
