The Seleucids are interesting to play. They have a good combination of units, a good economic base and plenty of enemies to sharpen their skills on.

I'm currently fighting my way westwards with them having crushed Pontus, the Greek Cities and Egypt (always get rid of those pesky little devils, that's my advice) and made the Parthians bow the knee and become a Protectorate. I even found the cash to buy a couple of provinces from the Scythians too.

What surprised me most was that my faction leader was still in the field aged 83! This splendid old gentleman was worth his weight in gold, especially on the battlefield where his 44-strong, highly experienced bodyguard could be relied on to do the right thing every time.

Coming to work is definitely worthwhile!
