I'm playing on Hard difficulty and my economy is doing enough to allow me to expand.

I don't know how strategically I'm playing them, but what I did was I took Phraspaa (Idk how you spell it) and Seleucia right away. I negotiated a ceasefire with the Seleucids that gave me Hatra, and went on to Egypt, figuring that since the Seleucids only have Antioch that they won't be a threat later. So I decided to stop the Egyptian advance and ally with the Seleucids. Meanwhile I'm fighting against Armenia and have taken their capital and almost have their other settlement.

Maybe it's just cause I'm playing on Hard rather than Very Hard. I don't know. But that's enough off-topicness for one post.
