Arche Seleukeia Re-established empire

That's a big yes. The Seleucids are starting to scare me now. The crazy bit is I had just gave a boost to their neighbors to make them stronger, and still got steam rolled.

Ah fonder yards u've had what i had i see very scary gits when they get that big dam Arche Seleukeia, but to be honest it was definatly one of the best campaigns ive had, havong to conserve my legions and beat bk those grey gits

didnt quite work though as i had to abandon greece

but i had some revenge at least a campaign in AS occupied eygpt and retook it for the glory of the roman empire

and as for baktria they were allied or protocrate i cant remeber (this game i had was before christmas possibly l8 november)

I wish, but Baktria won't go to war with them! I've even got them to agree to attack the seleucids using the attack faction thing in the diplomancy window, but they still havn't. They seem content to take the Seleucid's breakaway cities and fight the Sarmatians for control of the useless steppe. The same goes for the Sarmatians, they rather attack Rome and Germania and stuff in central europe, then attack the much more dangerous Seleucids. So that leaves a weaken Epeiros*which will probably be horrible crushed soon* to fight them, which means it's soon going to be a big Roman v Seleucid battle for the Balkans.

At least that almost happened. If Seleucids could have conquered Egypt, then they surely would have turned their attention to Greece. The Bactrian expansion is also quite accurate except for the Steppe provinces. The Roman bloodclot doesn't look pretty though...

Eh the Roman bloodclot happens b/c the settlements there are MUCH easier to take than the Gallic ones, plus it usually remains a vast rebel wasteland unless the Sweboz wander in. No Aedui or Arveni to fight. I personally think a lot of those towns should start with basic walls to at least slow the expansion a little. The AI can go sickeningly fast when all it does is march up and take the town in one turn due to the non-need of sieging.
