Love the diversity and aesthetics of the Seleucid roster. I usually make Pergamon my satrapy so that I can levy some of their elite thureos spears and elite melee cavalry.

Indeed, the Seleucids have a crazy good roster. Incredibly diverse, mostly warrior pop 2 class and elite. I prefer to take Pergamon for myself, however, as it is a region with the best economic province, Asia.

Thank you Rodric. Great to be back.

I love playing the Seleucids in Rome 2 and especially DEI. Playing the failing Empire is a nice switch from playing a rising power. You have all these resources and money, but enemies on all sides, limited population and culture problems. If you survive, the reward is Silver Shields and Cataphracts which is basically all the tools needed to rule the East and some of the best provinces in easy reach. I've had the early game blow up on me though where all the Satraps turn on me, Egypt is aggressive and Galatians and Greeks in the West picking off my scraps. The victory felt earned.

so glad i found this channel, can't wait to see how the campaign unfolds

So happy to see you back with new content. Keep up the great work! 🙂

Hello Andrew, glad to be back.

I've been reading up a bit on the Seleucid Empire when you first announced this. I know it was a prominent Hellenic Dynasty that despite its ups and downs, you see that it lasted up until Pompeius Magnus came to Syria in 63 BC.

@cerdic6586

Ай бұрын

The Empire came close to reuniting Alexander's empire under Antiochus the Great, but the Romans cunningly divided and played the Greeks against the Seleucids.

@TWSummary

Ай бұрын

Seleucus Nicator also nearly reunited the empire but was assassinated by the Ptolemids. Meanwhile, you're right, Antiochus III. The Great actually reconquered the East all the way to India and even got a foothold in Thrace, but the Romans just couldn't be messed with.

Ай бұрын

Yes it is linked in my discord under the guides section.

Have you ever experienced and issue with selecting a priest and the game crashes?

My usual strategy for the Selucids is to rush and destroy Galatia with Antiochus, then move and strike Egypt. If you can control Jerusalem you can effectively make a choke point against the Egyptian and Nabateans. For the Easterm front, I usually take out Asagarta, making my relation with Parsa and Parthava much better. The Mauryans, the Bactrians and the Parthians are next in the same order.

Furthermore, Seleucid rulers styled themselves as both Megas Basileus and Shahanshah. The first is great king, and the second is king of kings in literal translation, but actually, both mean emperor.

Hey again ^^ I don't know if is fate or something I want it to start a SELEUCIDS camp myself but on Europa Barbarorum and DEI but since you started one I'm gonna look yours first meanwhile got a GETAE DEI campaign going (just started) to see what changed in DEI with 1.3.3 can't wait to see your future development with Antiochus :P have to say want it you to play on relentless and with out garrison mod for penalty coz make the game so easy and to abuse AI in Rome 2 DEI is easy enough for a veteran player like yourself(with diplomacy and thing's) and take a way the challenge and even in mid Game will be more of a grind then Challenge and that kills immersion a little bit,but is just my opinion,let me know what you think ^^

The problem with no garrison mod is that it will make my expansion easier. The problem with AI is that anything you mod to help them helps you more. The only thing that works is giving them more stats with the difficulty slider but to see levy citizens with a dagger beat silver shield swordsmen is game breaking and immersion breaking.
