    Arses was the name of an Achaemenid Persian king, his full name being Artaxerxes IV Arses. He ruled briefly, before being murdered by his own Vizier of Persia (who had also killed Arses' father). The Vizier then had a cousin of the royal family crowned under the dynastic name of Darius III. Darius III eventually got rid of the Vizier, but he didn't rule very long either. A blond-haired conqueror from Macedonia saw to that.

    This thread is making me ROTFLOL.

    On a more serious note, I think Arses was a rather common Parthian and Persian name.

    Nice Seleucid Empire by the way!

    why are you so spread out, from the map it looks like you should have at least one or two monster armies in greece and egypt, and if your taking out parthia then one there to, plus you have pikes so youll never lose a city

    on a more serious note, the arses of parthia, has defeated the fecis of selucid

    thats the name of you captain in that army :

    With that sort of cash, Arses should be raising huge armies to stomp the Romans into mush with!
