You'd have a much easier time doing the Ptolemies, by the way, since you don't have to deal with all the problems of the AS. That way, you could start writing about something interesting right away (conquest of Africa? moving into babylonia? yes I know it's not my AAR but I can dream can't I?)
The AS might be more "action-packed" because you will soon be dealing with Baktria, Egypt, Parthia, and Pontos, but you will probably have to spend time creating a stable economy and raising public order etc.... not fun to write about...
