Leave Petrocles in Edessa and use him to recruit some cheap eastern spearmen in subsequent turns to keep order there temporarily. Move Antiochus' starting army towards Edessa and merge Petrocles' army with his.
To avoid being pulled into unnecessary wars with your northern neighbors, break off the satrapy status of Sardes immediately from turn 1.ĭo not attack Media because they are needed as a buffer to hold off the rebel satrapies long enough for your forces to finish off Egypt and re-focus your attention on those rebel scum. Persia and Drangiana may sometimes stay loyal but this is not a guarantee. Starting satrapies: Media, Sardes, Sargatia, Persia, Parthava, Drangiana, and AriaĮxcept Media and Sardes, all your other satrapies will likely rebel and declare war on you within the first 10 turns. Because the timing of certain events may vary in each campaign, this guide will give a detailed analysis of key starting issues instead of focusing on turn by turn moves. With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.This guide is on how to survive a Seleucid Hard campaign for the first 30 turns. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic. They can shoot far and defend themselves if the need arises.
One of the best archer units in Rome: Total War. The most basic archers (their stats don't change for all factions). The renowned Egyptian Chariots also can be fitted with good archers, and they then become a terrible pair with the latter, causing their ennemies to flee in panic. Light support missile cavalry, mounted on camels. Unfortunately this general's unit sucks.to be compensated by the chariots? They are to be respected and even feared by weak infantry and cavalry. The pride of the Egyptian army - their chariots. Slightly better than the previous ones, it will have to be your main cavalry before the Chariots come. To be used with the Nubian Cavalry for best balance. Actually it can take out even Cataphracts.Ī common type of light cavalry, armed with spears. Very good infantry, should be your main one, together with some good spearmen like the Nile Spearmen and the Pharaoh's Guards. The Nubian Spearmen are like the roman Town Watch - very useful outside of the battlefield, when you need someone to guard a town (leave at least 4 regiments of Nubian Spearmen, they'll be okay), or on the battlefield, when you need to distract an enemy group, lure them into a trap or something.
However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How).
