On about 18 years ago I actually won as Selucid on hardest difficulty. Wish I still had the save, was such a hard fight. Good guide!

BI -
Roman factions - Disband all units, then whichever religion your settlement is, build the opposite. Wait a few turns. When the cities rebel, suicide your generals against the rebels

Sassanids - copy parthia's suicide guide but attacking the eastenr romans

All horde-able factions - suicide your family tree against the nearest city or horde stack. When the enemy sallies/you attack forth stand your generals under the nearest tower unitl they die.

Alemanni - Attack the franks on turn 1
Saxons - Attack the franks

Also why does everyone think the Seleucid campaign is hard I find it one of the easiest campaign even as easy as the Roman ones.

Also @Slystoat you can't attack the Senate till the Civil War unless you edit the game files.
