The aim of this guide is to help the player survive the first few turns of the Seleucid Campaign, and then guide them further until they conquer 15 or 50 territories and Rome. Units like the Silver Shield Pikemen, Silver Shield Legionnaires, Companion Cavalry, Cataphracts, Scythed Chariots, and War Elephants never get to be used in the campaign because players have trouble getting past the first few turns.
Many players can never play the Seleucids up to their full potential because they always get destroyed by the Egyptians, Pontics, Parthians, and Armenians in the first few turns. Even experienced veterans can get stuck playing as the Seleucids. Many people tell me that the Seleucids are the hardest faction to play in the game, simply because of their starting position, and the fact that their early units are really bad. I have made guides before, but this is my first one on Steam. After seeing some guides out there, I decided to make one of my own.
