    Thanks for your advices.
    I own all of the south of Arabia now. I'm in the year 248BC and there were no fightings between my 2 big hellenic neighbours so far. There is just one region which is still controlled by the elutheroi between me and the seleucid empire in the east, and in the west i'm a direct neighbour of ptolemaio which own the region nabatae (dont know if this is right spelled, the region with bostra in it^^) So now I think about what to do now, I have enough money, and I sent an expedition(diplomat and spy) by ship to the far east where an indian eleutheroi city is, which is quite good defended and I dont think it would be such a good idea.
    So my plan was to get out of arabia without being confrontated by the 2 superpowers for now, maybe there is a way.

    To the difficult Saba thing, I started with Saba because this faction is so different from the location and origin than the others.(especially to RTW)I will continue playing till im done, I have enough ambition I think, so maybe it works or not, than I will start with another faction.
    Im very interested in Pahlava and bactria too, but for now I want to try Saba.

    Welcome. You got some balls playing as Saba. It's a very hard campaign. The axemen and hoplites help though. So you don't want to send a ship over to south of Egypt or the cities in the far east? You could take some Eleutheroi that way, although it'd be hard keeping the people happy considering the distance from capital penalty.

    now I continued my game, this time I thought could make sth out the rebel regions that come to my side, so I got Palmyra, Bostra and Kush and thought this is the decision that I would have to fight Ptolemaio, but now Ptolemaio has become an allie of their former enemy seleuceia and I think they will attack me ^^
    So lets see where this will bring me to...

    Your best bet is to attack the ptolemaioi in Southern Africa - Ethiopa/Nubia area. That should draw their armies back down into Egypt, very slowly, and allow you to defeat them one by one. Then work your way up the Nile until you can sack Alexandira. Rather than fight them next to and around your homeland regions. Personally, I would advise only taking the Syrian cities after Egypt has been conquered. As for the Seleucids, dont antagonise them too much and hope they are distracted enough by the Parthians not to give you too hard a time.

    Some players might advise you to just ship a powerful army straight to the Ptolies capital and destroy it.

    Anyway, good luck and have fun!

    Be warned that common land border means that the insanely berserk AI will invariably attack you. So be prepared.
