Every time I make an ally....

Well, I have been only betrayed once (by Carthage), though it was a really stupid betrayal (a single-city faction against my mighty empire ? 0_o).

The Seleucids are faithfully allied since one of the very first turn of the game, and show no signs of attacking (though they have a big army standing idle).

I also noticed a bad habit of the AI when allying with them, whenever they have a huge army near an undefended city, they conquer it no matter how big your empire is... its pretty annoying.

Then why do they accept to be allies in the first damn place?

To lure you into a false sense of security. Every once in a while declare peace, it confuses the hell out of your enemies!

It just seems like, at any one time in the campaign, you are at war with at least 2 people....

if you leave a larger neighbour neutral they probably won't declare war on you. If you get an alliance with them 2-3 turns later they will attack one of your cities!
