Hi ya'll. I just got back into playing EB for the first time in an year and I decided to play with the Seleucid, because I think they're in great position to be very very fun to rp with. The problem is that I'm having a had time finding any AAR or any guide-lines to work on them.
One can easily read some superficial information about them online and such but they don't help in knowing what the Seleucids would have thought about, say, dealing with steppe barbarians or whether to just conquer the Greek peninsula/allying with all of them to create a balanced peace/turning them all into protectorates and vice versa.
So, I would be grateful if people knowledgeable with the Seleucids could help me out here.
I don't think I need help keeping the empire together or anything. Given that I'm playing on M/M (VH/M is boring and I like slow games, though I'm not sure whether H/M is better than M/M) and kicking the Ptolemaioi in Asia Minor and maintaining a strong army further east to ensure the Pahlava/Baktria doesn't decide to do anything funny besides absorbing the regions that rebelled earlier.
So, to possibly help out starting this thread up, currently the Makedonians are getting their asses kicked by the Epirotes and the KH. The Epirotes took Pella and the KH took one of the Makedon lower regions. I would personally love to go help the Makedonians out, being that they're allies and all, but I doubt I can provide another full-stack army to deal with the 2-3 full-stacks that the Epirotes and the KH are spawning. Would it be acceptable for a Seleucid king to quickly settle the war with the Ptolemaioi for a sake of convenience, possibly paying some money and returning a region that I took from them, so that he can do everything he can to save the Makedonians from getting wiped out?
