With 1.2 now and even before if you can last the first 20-25 turns as the Seleucids then your probably going to make it. You see eventually Parthia and Pontus will drains either their monetary or manpower resources, or both. Then you only have to worry about Egypt on land and the Greeks on sea. To hamstring Egypt take Sidon, Jerusalem, Salamis, and Bostra from them. This reduces their income to the point where they can only manage half stacks of nubian spears every 5 turns or so. Then deal with Pontus and Parthia, reduce their lands to 1 or 2 provinces this effectively cuts them off at the knees. If Armenia gets uppity roll them too.
no make them start with 5000 that's the fair amount. each playable faction started with that exept the seleucids. if you want to start real big type this
at the seleucids in desc strat.

denarii 9999999999

and you'll have 1.4 billion

btw i've conquered the world with the seleucids they're not that tough as you get th silvers
