    Arabia is in the middle east
    The middle east lays in in Asia if we speak about continents

    Btw i fully agree with Antiochus, it's really a shame that SE didn't got included and we got parthia instead.
    they will be paid dlc , i bet.

    They were pretty cool in the first game too. But they kinda already have an empire at this point. idk if it would be boring to play as an already established power.

    They're intresting because their empire really was unstable and got so many rebellions at the given time of the game

    I hope people like Seleucids.

    Thay have amazing and specific units like war elephants (only Seleucids have ARMOURED elephantes), Silver Shield phalangites (elite phalanx with silver armors), many mercenaries (Celtic - Galatians, Greek, African, Judean, Indian, Cappadocian, Persian, Syrian), Romanized elite infantry and HELLENISTIC CATAPHRACTS, of course.

    They have some units which are in other rosters like Scythed Chariots (Egypt, Pontus), Greek, Celtic mercenaries, but only Seleucids have these units in one faction.

    You must play Egypt, Pontus, Parthia, Epir, Macedon... Why? Seleucids have 95% units of these all factions.

    and the largest empire for a very long part of the game.

    even on EB it was easy to kill the annoying pontus first and retreat from the pahlava and leave bactria to deal with saka rauka, then establish good defensive frontiers on the bactria border and hold the land bridge at byzantion, quite easy due to geography and kill the ptolomies, then proceed to smash saka and whats left of bactria, that done you can turn to macedon that is fighting the romans in a very pitched battle, usually winning

    where is the fun?

    and dont worry they will appear, there is about a new thread each day about the seleucids

    I liked the Seleucids before you filled the forums with ten daily threads about them.


    They are going to be playable eventually, but i'd rather have other more unique options done first (iberians, scythians, dacians, etc). And about them being free... gaming companies and publishers are not preciselly known for their charity. So no, i don't think so.

    Those three are not for free, so not all players can have them... These are only for those will pre-order..... I dont how many will pay for it later... Ill just wait for gold version so i can have it included on the game... Although gold version may appear 2 years later....

    Without more info we cannot say for sure, but if there are no more announcements about Free-LC factions, my guess would be a paid DLC or not playable.

    Hellenic Seleucid Empire a mix of Western and Eastern culture.

    Silver Shield Pikemens + Cataphracts + Armoured Elephants + Silver Shield Legionaries + Scythe Chariots + Other Local Mercenaries= THE BEST MIX

    Proved my point.

    I might speak for myself now, but i prefer to have the stronger factions as my enemies. I don't like knowing that i can both out-maneuver the AI and have exceedingly better units than them also. SE will probably come as a DLC, but i'm currently OK with them not being announced yet.

    Sometimes the best and most mixed roster is the worst roster, if you ask me.
