    I guess that, since I've started playing this game, I've become pretty fascinated the eastern Hellenic Successor states like the Seleukid Empire and the Bactrian and Ptolemaic Kingdoms. I mean, I'll always be a Roman nut, and the Audui and the Arverni had the potential to achieve so much more than they did. But there something about the Asian and Aigyptos-based Hellenes that I find appealing. Maybe, aside from the kick-ass heavy cavalry, phalangites and royal guard units, its the whole concept of colonialism, such as laying down their roots on foreign soil, and luring their western-born brethren from their homelands with the promise of cash and bountiful farmland, in return for military service. New nation-states inventing themselves and making themselves stronger. Apparently, Ptolemaic Egypt, in particular, was known as a hotbed of scientific advancement in that era.
