A Seleukid guide ?
I have searched but find no trace of a gameplay guid with the Arche Seleukeia.
I don't know for you, but I don't think they are so easy to play.
Indeed, when you play with the recommanded settings, with a campaign difficulty set on Very Hard. In medium difficulty, you'll have no problem at all to became the huge bahamoth the AI tends to be.
So, if no one have done this, I coul do a gameplay guide one day or another, but not today.
I would just let a few points open.
_ The first, longuest and greatest difficulty for you : your own empire !
You start with a huge, gargantuous dominion.
And the stability is not good at all.
First thing to do shall be a change of capital, personnaly, I always came back in Babylonia, but not further, for historical reasons.
The buildings choices is also extremely important.
Usually, I begin with making roads everywhere, to boast the trade and the movement af my armies at little cost.
Then I focus on cheap stability buildings/agriculture/trade. Just like in every of my campaign, in fact.
But your difficulties don't stop there.
In VH the AI is very agressive, and you could be at war with every of your neighbours in the very end of year 271. So you have also to make good defenses as quickly as possible, for multiple threat.
Stone walls are a good choice.
For the eastern front, I'm not the one who wage war first, being too busy on the Mediterrannean shores. I recommend a defensive posture as long as you haven't take Alexandria.
The Ptolemies are your greatest ennemy for now, don't forget that.
In a few years, they will bring you huge hosts of Galatikoi Kleruchoi, Basilikon Agema and all this übermensh.
Against them, you cannot afford to loose a single battle, because Antioch is your main conscription center, and sould be guarded properly.
Anyone as something to add ?
