Yes Yes At last the Seleucids are not getting smacked around! Currently in my game they have taken over most of Asia minor (not Pontus though, as Pontus is their protectorate) they have kicked the greeks out and taken Rhodos too, eliminated Armenia and are thrashing Egypt at the moment.

I finally get to fight the Seleucids late game, with huge armies, silver shield legionaries, elephants and whatnot

Good to see that some things change after the patch :)
