I have had some good results by asigning Baktria and Armenia only victory towns south of their starting position. They were both pushing into AS territory and the (settled) rebell towns around but did not cross the mountains, save for one shortlived adventure of a Baktrian China (that province where the Yuehzi might appear).

Parthia is always going North, both for the rebell towns and the Saka, regardless what the VCs tell them. Their problem is that they can't do different as long as they are not at war with AS. The other two have a couple of towns around their starting position that they can take in the first turns. Maybe changing the Parthian stance to war with AS and peace or alliance with Saka might help?

I think the steppe people themselves should be free to move where they want. That will add some random elements to the game.
