It's times like these that I'm glad the Parthians always destroy the Seleucids in each of my campaigns.

Ridiculous.

Everytime this pathetic faction is allied to me, they show teeth and attack in force.

Anyone else around them? They go limp and flop over as the enemy blitzkrieg their empire.

Seriously, are the Seleucids ever not someone's doormat in a campaign? They're so pathetic regardless of their potential. What the hell man...

And by the way, has anyone ever had spies track their wars? They never use elephants against the AI it seems. But me? 7 goddamn elephant cataphracts as they attack my stacks in Syria. grr........

My rule of thumb? Don't expand into the middle east until the Seleucids are made someone's punk. Usually the Parthians, Ptolemys, or Armenia.

Here is my EDU. It also includes some minor changes to legionaries also (a bit higher stats and a bit more statistical distinction between the types) and ranged units (lower morale and defense, so that they'll rout faster when hit by cavalry or heavy infantry). Whatever the case, elephants are now of realistic strength; they will do damage when charging into a unit, but will die in due course when stuck in melee or if hit by a hail of javelins.

Note that this EDU is for Rome one-turn. If there is another EDU you would like modified, I'll do that for you and post it here; it only takes five minutes or so.

I made them mine. Parthia has done nice work of the Seleucids eastern provinces, but they were still pretty intact. And the Ptolemies and Seleucids kept a pretty balanced war, not really gaining but not quite losing either. In any case, as Pergamon after I finished Blitzing Armenia, (Now THERES a

with their heavy cavalry, I had to use 7 stacks of elites to decimate and wipe them off the face of the earth) the Seleucids decided to try and take me on.

Babylonia is under my faction heir's control, Antioch has been pumping out elites for me, and my faction leader, Marsyas, has become an uber-badass general that is heading to Seleucia then back to Opis to really wipe out the Seleucid heartland.
