I have been playing EB since it's release months ago, and I have come to enjoy the game's historical accuracy, and real challenge, especially that of Arche Seleukeia.

But I have a problem with recruiting in Arche Seleukeia:how to balance it's army for best results on the battlefield, and at the same time the royal treasury. right now in a full 20 unit stack (I have two: one in the east and one in the west) I use 1 General, 2 hetairoi/ Kataphraktoi, 1 prodromoi, 1 elephant units (always armoured), 1 hypaspist, 1 pheraspidai, 1 Thorakitai Basilikou agemata, 1 Argyraspidai, 6 Pezhetairoi/ Klerouchikoi phalangites, 2 thorakitai/thureophoroi, 2 toxotai syriakoi, and a catapult, or if unavailable auxiliary cav(usually heavy cavalry). I put the cav on the wings, the elephats and archers in the rear, infantry in the center with flanking troops protecting the gaps plus the obvious flanks. I don't recruit any levy units for anything save garrisoning, not counting the ioudaioi taxeis.

Does this army work, or is there a way to improve it and garrisoning, without wasting money?

feel free to experiment with this army and post any comments or recommendations on improving it, and cutting down costs while adding efficiency.
