    Default Seleucids overpowered?

    I was playing the Seleucids and Im thinking their overpowered cause of the fact they have Elephants, Catacphracts, Companian Cavalry, pikemen, militia hoplites, legions. Whenever I try a new faction, it just seems that the faction is weak. Anyone feel the same?

    That is why they call them "The Grey Death"....

    They have the strongest army in the game(and one of the most fun to play with) but in campaign mode this is balanced out by the fact you have to survive long enough to get these units since the seleucids are a long strip sandwiched between the eggies and the eastern factions.

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely

    Alexander knew how to make a great army. Its all his leftovers and maybe it is alittle overpowered. The strong army should be balanced out by being surrounded by so many enemies and internal struggles. But all that has to do with the AI and well you know how that is.
