    There are no Gallic elite mercs in Asia Minor other then couple of units of "naked fanatics"

    You should try H/M just to get little more familiar with faction.

    Saba is one of hardest faction to play, due to fact that is bordering with 2 biggest butchers in game, AS and Ptolies.

    On M battles you can beat AI with 2/3 of stack or 1/2 against his full stack.Try to use those rocky areas around your starting province to fight them, since that will get their phalanxes out of formation.After you get 2-3 of them gone , you will have quiet time for some turns.And most likely open road to Selukeia Only places that AS is building elites are Antiochea , Seleukeia.You get those raided , and they are back to basics for a time being.Later on is different story.

    Stay away from Dumatha and Persian gulf side thats AS contested teritory.Try to get Axum as soon you can, before Ptolies do, you can get Agemas there (AP Heavy infantry) and i believe elephants. Ptollies will eventually overrun AS and then you gonna have them on your back.
