Re: game balance
The Ptolemies didn't expand into the Seleucid empire in real history, is that right? What happened in history to keep them from snapping up this collapsing empire, or from conquering or being conquered by Carthage? (all of which seems to have a high probability of happening in the game).
Re: game balance
The answer to the latter doubtless has much to do with the vast stretch of desolate Libyan desert in the way, and both being busy with other stuff.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

The Ptolemaic military went in to decline before the Seleukid one and when the Seleukid empire did begin to collapse, the Ptolemies had enough internal troubles to keep them occupied from invading the Seleukids.Originally Posted by Danest
As for Carthage, as Watchman says the terrain between the lands was not so favourable, however there also seems to have been a friendly relationship between the two empires.
