Gifting doesn`t seem to help, the AI just screw it all up.
As for the seleucids I`ve found somthing that works excellent:
Give them 900K denarii, boost their population, make all their starter units have 9 experience and give them the trait craftsman caesar(thank Kraxis for that).
That was very heavy modding I agree, but at least it worked.
I also did some negative modding on Egypt, but I don`t know how much that helped.
If you give Egypt –900K denarii then it would not be required to let TSE cheat that much.
Here`s the result:
I have not helped TSE in any other way than securing trade rights with them.
TSE also had a plan of invading Carthage too, but the load savegame bug screwed those plans.
Hope that helped.
