    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.
